The Rhythm Devils and Jerry come together nicely on this one

Dancin' in the Streets

Golden Hall

Jerry has laryngitis, so he speaks with his hands. Starts as a buttsweat dancefest. Long jam that eventually quiets to a whisper before wrapping up

Veterans Auditorium

Slow, long version of Baby Blue. Jerry's voice is sweet and the organ adds nice texture

Eyes Of The World

Selland Arena

If it ever feels like nothing is going right in the world, this version is a beacon of light to the contrary. Full band participation, but Phil, Billy, and Keith really holds this one down and bring it to the next echelon. Lovely and have respun several times this week alone

St. Louis Arena

Not usually my track, but this one flows beautifully and the rhythm devils are pushing this one alone. Heady and worth a spin

Hornsby on accordion makes this sound like it could be echoing out of a pub somewhere in Ireland. Jerry's solo is stunning. In some instances, like this, the accordion works. In others, like the subsequent Mexicali Blues, it is painful to endure. This one is lovely.

Goodie fucking gum drops, this one is GREAT!
