Its All Over Now

Rupp Arena

Hottest I've ever heard . . . Bobby's growling, Jerry's solo is inspired, huge crescendo . . . as good as the Faces' romp off their album

Great show, great licks, perfect bar room mood. Hot!

He's Gone

Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Hall

Nearly twenty minutes of He's Gone goodness -- jam goes into Drums then NFA but stays squarely in He's Gone territory with some very nice interplay.

A lot like the wild December 2 Casey, without the extra solo at the end. A fantastic, complete build-up. Keith goes nuts. Great energy!

Right on, Carrion, Donna was great this whole run. This show is a perfect slow groove, with this High Time played AFTER Stephen ) Eyes ) LIG . . . Unbelievable stuff

Jerry's second slide solo is unreal. My go-to Jimmy, along with 77-03-20. Perfectly described by Cuse above. Have absolutely no idea why this only has two votes, as this tape definitely makes the rounds . . .

If you want to hear Jerry at his best vocally, listen to this.

Great version, this one gets pretty nasty, thanks for the rec.

Carrion Crow hit the nail on the head: incredibly shredding good time vibe! Listen now at all costs!
