Crisp soloing and clear, limpid lines from the inexhaustible well of musical ideas here. Jed has never been my top song, but Jer just sparkles here.

Black Throated Wind
This starts with understated, almost hesitant steps, then builds into a towering emotional rage. Its arc fits its words. Great stuff.

El Paso
Sweet master class on background soloing with Jerry's lickety-split runaway desperado fretwork backing Bobby up.

Jack Straw
In spite of some tuning problems, this one cooks. This whole set showcases Jerry's fast frets. Great stuff.

Ramble On Rose
Jerry's vocals are rarely stronger. At one point he's growling it out like he's spittin' nails.
