Nice rolling, patient, mellow version. Just flows along. I dig

Capitol Theater

Filthy, filthy blues licks. Dig this track a lot - not sure why it never made it into rotation. Like a slower tempo Mr. Charlie

Rubber Bowl - University of Akron

Odd heaviness to the rhythm guitar and Dylan vocals. Jerry hits a nice solo though. Interesting to hear as an anomaly, if anything

Civic Auditorium

Not super clean, but definitely fun! I always loved this as a Jerry tune - great to see it was played by the boys. Encore slot is perfect placement

Flawless version. This got a lot of spins in the nono household this weekend. Jerry is ON for this one
