Carrier Dome, Syracuse U

There's a great YouTube video for this. Many close-ups. Bobby and Jerry dueling guitars. Fast slide playing by Bobby very intense Mickey doing his drum freak-out thing.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Carrier Dome, Syracuse U

I'll give this an up vote as well. Terrific sole from Jerry between wild geese and Bobby's done gonna shine verse.

Capitol Theater

Just heard this for the first time and so happy I did. Bob's vocals are wonderfully smooth and country. Jerry weaving in and out. Much better then the coked out late 70's versions and slightly more appealing then the early 70's. Not that either are bad but this is so good.
Stella Blue
March 21, 1994
Richfield Coliseum

There's something about Stella Blue that makes me so sad but somehow the song mends itself in the end. Expecially this one. You can tell Jerry's feeling it. I imagine he's crying inside but it's coming through in his voice at the end. Also, I like the sound of Rosebud. I think rosebud sometimes gets a bad rap cause it didn't sound as good as wolf or tiger but it's still a beautiful sounding instrument.
