The Ark

Jer + SG x 1969 = wild flaming hot licks that lead to off kilter dissonant cronking into cleansing fanning before the car crash ending.

Encore that the whole band jumps on with Jerry crooning his way thru it nicely.

Burned out vox and crying guitar licks fit this tune perfectly

The Wheel

Madison Square Garden

Some of Jer's most soulful playing on this version - check the space/extended intro - not Indy but still interesting - then he gets after it during the tune proper.
Cold Rain and Snow

Fillmore West

Very different take - they clearly decided to try out a different approach this night - cool.

Academy of Music

This NFA is hi energy jamcity > hi-octane GDTRFB > NFA reprise that is all Bobby and Pig hootin, hollerin and screaming their balls off. 3 mins of intensity is right on.

Uncle John's Band

Like this one and that hollowed out sound Jer's got going - they close with an OMSN that's is pretty crazoid too at this show.
