Very strong outro jam. Jerry may have had shaky fingers but he really busted his ass to deliver here.

Jerry is absolutely dialed in, hot solo. Basically unknown show due to only AUDs avail.

Really beautiful version, Jerry clearly emotionally invested in the delivery. Great playing too despite the year. Worth a listen.

Agree that this version needs far more love. It’s delicate and fragile in just the right way. Jerry’s voice is perfect. Shocking to me that heavy versions that blunder around like 10/11/83 are so high compared to this one.

Outro jam absolutely torn to shreds. Top 5 version here
He's Gone

Stanley Theater

Absolutely stunning out jam, textured and wide ranging in scope. From softest valleys to a crazy Gloria jam and a second out jam into CC rider, prompted by Brent and Bob - one of the coolest things they did this late in the game IMO. Needs a lot more attention.

Madison Square Garden

Very strong version. Jerry present and engaged, with some SEARING leads in fact. Unfortunate slight false ending doesn’t knock this one too much in my book - I think it’s better than any other 94 version except 3/27.
Deep Elem Blues
March 9, 1981
Madison Square Garden

Fantastic version. Jerry’s tone in 81 is absolutely dirty, and his vocals are great, especially on the last verse where he amps it up a notch. Electric deep elem is pretty much always hot
