Not Fade Away
Jerry leads the band into Nobody's Fault territory, and the resulting bluesy jam is brief but satisfying.

Playin' In The Band
Jerry gets way out there on this 15 minute version, getting into some great weirdness, including a Tigerish passage right before the drums.

Stella Blue
Really love early Brent era Stellas (‘79-82). Jerry is excellent throughout this show, and this Stella is no exception. Could be a tad longer though.
