Admittedly not a favorite tune for me but this is super crispy - laconic delivery by Weir w/ Jer's picking and tone perfection. Whole show is massive.

Thompson Arena - Dartmouth College

Playfully different melody here really cool Jer is sporting very catchy phrasing - mid tempo no hurry super chill with highlights.

Solid take with nice Jerry backup howls while Bobby yodels.

Smokey, sneaky slow burner with the added Ginger says verse ... locked in tight groove.

About as close as I have ever heard the gang play Soul Sacrifice. Cool.

All of the above comments are true. I checked and Jerry really goes “Big Dawg” here.

Bobby biffs the final verse because Jerry ripped everyone's face off with his solo - Oh mi dios!
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo

Music Hall

One of those nights where Jerry SOARS on certain tunes, Peggy-O, Jack Straw and this Half-Step are exhibits 1,2&3.

Raw and biting solo the way I like'em, I love Stagger Lee's but so, so many can be disasters (tempo?). This one keeps the momentum going and Jer's dialed up hotlicks this evening. BDub's' slide is palatable too..
