What can I say, I love Bobby and i love this tune. This naturally quirky song is executed perfectly, as with most outings in spring/summer '85

Rapid fire version out of a heady space. Jam is high octane

Autzen Stadium - University of Oregon

Tough that Bobby has technical issues during this Straw, but he leaves the boys to tear this version a new one. Jerry shreds this to pieces! Very, very nice.

This is very patient, poignant, and soulful. Jerry's vocals and playing are hauntingly on point. Very nice
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

JFK Stadium

Spun this one several times this weekend. Jerry's leads at the end of Scarlet are just incredible. He repeats a lick toward the end that sounds so vibrant, like a bell ringing. Coupled with a sick FOTM, this one has all-time status

The jam after the MAMU is crispy goodness. This one delivers
