I actually dig Hornsby's flare on this. Jerry nails a sweet solo at the end too. Very heartfelt

Full head of steam. Good Phil work on a song that is typically a Jerry shredfest highlight reel (this is still a Jerry shredfest highlight reel)

This isn't usually my song, but this one totally swings. Super fun

Fantastic opener. Jerry playing some fun licks. Very bouncy, and great way to kick off

The mini jam in this one is a hot little potato. Jerry fluttering over the frets like a hummingbird.

Philadelphia Civic Center

I'm usually not a big Samson fan, but this one has some serious muscle. Force of an elbow drop from the top ropes. High energy!

This Wheel > Wharf segment added to the recent DP is gold. Spinning a lot. Fantastic version
