Alabama Getaway

Alpine Valley Music Theater

High-energy opener with some vicious guitar work by Jerry. Lyrically tight as well.

Fillmore West

A hot version! T.C is a huge part of this one. Some real feisty organ textures all throughout, particularly toward the beginning and end of the jam.

I know there's a million of these, but WOW is this a spicy one. Big energy from the whole band. The audience is appreciative too.

Dirty, mean, sleazy, and slick. Some top-notch drumming here. Nice and ugly - just the way this song should be.

Bob and Jerry trade licks throughout, but it gets REAL hot toward the end. Twin country twangers absolutely killing it. Great one!

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Madison Square Garden

Phil's doing some really creative stuff with this one. Odd and offbeat, but REALLY cool.

The Omni

Bobby's guitar sounds excellent complementing Jerry's solo. I really think it's the reason why this one is so powerful, and it's a reminder of the chemistry they both had.
It's All Over Now Baby Blue

West Palm Beach Auditorium

Gorgeous one. Jerry sounds amazing. A great encore and a fitting end to a good show.
Jack Straw

McArthur Court, U of Oregon

Perfect in every way. This one is a fireball of energy, and easily my favorite. It's not even close.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
March 10, 1981
Madison Square Garden

A little ramshackle, but VERY creative and has tons of goodness in the transition jam and Fire.
