Cold Rain and Slow - very mellow cool version they seem to be tooling around the arrangement - Bobby and Keith standout on this one.

Intro is long and dreamy all Jer + Keith. Jerry and Donna's vocal work is lovely here.

This one's all country upfront and then country fried on the outro...nice! (source:CM)

They hit the groove on this one so Jerry can throw the nasty sauce on it. (source:CM)

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.

Fillmore West

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.
