So clean, perfectly executed - acoustic butter

Not usually my song, but this one cranks into hyper speed, with Brent preaching on the organ and Jerry nailing the licks

Truckin'

Hampton Coliseum

Not the longest version, but hot with some interesting diversions into different territory than a normal Truckin'. Segues effortlessly into Stella

Fiery version - Jerry is ON. Mothership on hype. Worthy of a focused spin

An ethereal flight into the cosmos. This one shines beautifully. Highly recommend

If there was ever any question, the simple answer for this version is "YESSSSS." Jerry attacks each solo with vigor and ferocity. For my ears and preference, it is either this or Alaska '80. This one is just a complete Jerry-lead hose show.

jeeeesus, they likely had to hose down Jerry after this one. Just blistering assault of the song. This is a massive shredfest. Giddddddy UP

Jerry with extremely nimble fingers. Great Bobby/Brent/Jerry interplay on the transition
He's Gone

Raceway Park

Really excellent weaving of melodies between Jerry, Bob, and Keith, then a massive swell into a great NFA segue. This version even has giggly "woo!" vocals from Bob. Hard to ask for more...
