It's All Over Now Baby Blue

Boise Pavilion - Boise State University

Can't miss the encore, played nearly 100 times in this decade it's a sweet send off for such a hot show in the thick of the era. Crystalline, gossamer, ragged. Thick lesh crunchies and commanding sergeant vigor and might!!!

Just exactly perfect, Jerry woodshedding to drool over, plinky brent, On vocal, and characteristically blistering pace. Generous and upliftingly blue flame.
