Show starts out a bit rough - tech issues, energy, song selection. Boys seem to come alive here, with some nice Jerry leads and Keith fills

Perfect tone, swells, and peaks. This soars

INCREDIBLY slinky. Excellent action Brent-side on this.

Brent and Jerry trade smoking solos, then mesh at the final end jam. Choice

Early, beta version of the track, the (albeit brief) jam in this is strong

Absolute scorcher. Nimble licks abound

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
New Minglewood Blues

Nashville Municipal Auditorium

Powerhouse energetic and Bobby legitimately snarling and growling in full force. Killllllller

Thick cosmic soup. At times demonic in nature, then a flawless transition into Terrapin

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