Stand out solo at the end - Jerry doesn't pull off every lick, but it's still pretty good

This song single-handedly converted me on the early 80s. Whole show is excellent.

I like this song better when it's a real song instead of a Bobby vehicle. Just a personal preference. Setting that aside, still probably the best version.

At first I didn't like Brent on this, but now that's the reason I keep coming back to it.

This one gets me. The band is just hitting their stride in that leaderless, fragile way they did in 72, and Jerry's delivery is more natural and more subdued than usual. It just breaks my heart.
