Good version until the "Drink down a bottle and your're ready to kill" and then Jerry shreads it

Deep Elem Blues
Plug 'em in boys.

Jer surfs his ass off all over the band - yup.

Throwing Stones
A great revisit to when it was more exploratory and less predictable

Little Red Rooster
Sweet slide, dig Brent's verse too, bluesy and bitchin'
1
Ramble On Rose
Does Jerry totally botch a verse? Yes. Does the solo/rest of the song make up for it? Definitely.

Playin' In The Band
Starts off fast, but settles into a nice jam and leads into UJB

Uncle John's Band
Worth a listen, not the best but who doesn't love PTIB-->UJB?

Black Peter
From prison planet song to actual prison song. Foucault would be proud.
