Big energy, a good Jerry solo, no lyrical flubs, and transitions into a hot Mexicali Blues. What else could you ask for?

Dupree's Diamond Blues

Madison Square Garden

Is there a single version of Dupree's that DOESN'T put a smile on your face? This one's a ton of fun, and a big highlight of an under-appreciated show

Brent's piano is a major factor in this hot version. Tempo is just exactly perfect.

Sounds more triumphant than haunting, but that's not a bad thing. Excellent soloing throughout, with the final minute being particularly great.

Carries the momentum of the H/S/F prior, leading to a fast version with some great Jerry solos.

Tom Constanten is a HUGE factor in this excellent version.

Keith and Jerry go NUTS. Best-ever, in my book.

Brent blowing minds with his solo. An awesome version from an awesome show.
Cumberland Blues

Wembley Empire Pool

This one is AMAZING - off the rails in its energy level. The band explodes in the kind of fury that makes tracks like this special.

The best ever, in my opinion. It absolutely scorches. Jerry's soloing is manic, but don't count out Brent's keys - they're just as responsible for how epic this one is.
