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.

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.

Whole Band is on FULL BLAST for these favorites. Listen to Jerry BURN throughout this underrated NFA>GDTRFB>NFA. Can't hear without upvoting I promise.

Heard this one on TFTGR - am I the only one who hears Jerry basically ripping the Other One here? I’ve heard some others that reference it but not that go this deep into that theme.

Loose and juicey...ummm Bobby takes the first pass with some slide work then Jer steams in with the perfect (albeit short) solo. Different flavor of Scooby snack here but tasty.

Melodically emotional or is it the other way around?

Hear Jerry unleashed, the finish is memorable.
