Some really nimble guitar work by Jerry. Ripping version

The SBD I scooped had a Wang Dang Doodle-ish soundcheck that came with it. Some pretty slinky shit. Worth checking if you can track it down

Patient build into a soaring version. Glides nicely into a Playin' Reprise

Massive version! Was spinning on the treadmill at the gym and felt like I was going to run through the wall. Serious way to open a show!

Like others, not a massive TJ fan, but was in Nashville and a spin felt obligatory. This one is a crusher - band is tight and Jer puts the hammer DOWN on the leads. Very enjoyable version and yeah, they def brought it in Nash during an already iconic month in dead history

Nashville Municipal Auditorium

Powerhouse energetic and Bobby legitimately snarling and growling in full force. Killllllller
Playin' In The Band

Boston Garden

The embarrassingly entendred name “clam jam,” is very well done. I’ve always loved this show
