Jerry let it fly all on night on 4/20 - so he smoked this one out too.

This jam goes off the rails and completely mental. End of the 1st set - sheesh!

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..
