Jerry ate a frog before the show but his lines this night are clear, sublime and FUNKY at the 7.50 mark.

A nice surprise for '85. Jer's vox is shot but the playing is sweetness.

This has some action to it with DJ adding nice backup. Jer throws out some great trills and they catch the groove.

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.

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

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.

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.
