Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
1st solo, Jer w/beautiful stanza, suddenly drops 4steps then inserts halfs, (learned this lead, worked on it + months). Gets even better; way melodic.

Brokedown Palace
The broken Brokedown starts out so badly that Bobby calls out to start over, Jerry agrees and the best ever Brokedown emerges

Cold Rain and Snow
'85 is a tough year, Jerry repeats, but the band helps him out. Show's only up from here.

C. C. Rider
Laid back and struttin', Brent's organ and Bobby's rhythm/slide make this a worthwhile listen.

Let It Grow
manic, cinematic, loping and free, Tiger takes its beckoning turn to western liquidy we're not worthy fireworks over a cloudy leaf's fall dream tempo
