The Worcester crowd is really into it. Another hot version. Aren't they almost always hot?

Jerry singing Big Boss Man to open the show - and nobody has mentioned this yet?

The Spectrum

This era is overlooked and underappreciated. This - like most around this time - cooks.

Love the restraint Jerry plays with during the second instrumental break. Very measured and disciplined.

Bob's rap starts off with an indirect mention of Pigpen.

Mexicali Blues
June 8, 1977
Winterland Arena

Bob messes up the lyrics, Jerry's guitar work goes nowhere, But wait - the quality of the recording is spectacular and the year is 1977, so we'd all better bump this sucker up, because not doing so would be heresy!!
Mexicali Blues

Charlotte Coliseum

Love those 1991 Mexicalis with Hornsby. The instrumental break is long and sweet, as we listen to some guitar, trumpet, fiddle, piano, bass and drums.
Mexicali Blues

Madison Square Garden

Nice version where Vince leads the way and Jerry kind of sits back and watches him.
Mama Tried

Hartford Civic Center

Polka time! Jerry rips. Instrumental break gets that extra pass that makes all the difference.
Me and My Uncle

The Centrum

It will take less than 3 minutes for you to hear this. Bob's vocals are strong and inspired. Jerry is just jamming along the whole way, especially during the instrumental break. At times, Phil adds the perfect thumps. Given that all this happens in under 3 minutes, you should definately take the time to give this a listen.
