Pauley Pavilion

The band is tight and Jerry doesn't miss a beat. Seems like he's surfing with his guitar lines.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Assembly Hall

I think Jerry's working ideas out in new places in the fretboard during the "China" solo, and Brent is contributing some interesting colors.

Nice slow shuffle, and Jerry's playing is quite melodic. But he brings the heat at the end (with some help from Keith).

Some nice playing from Jerry in the solos and transition.

Wonderful version, and I concur with above on all counts.

Them doing Dylan covers for these last few years pays off tonight.
Turn On Your Love Light

Nassau Coliseum

Odd juxtaposition of Branford making parts of this 1950s rock and roll, and Bobby doing some Pig rap.

Much less the jam. The Drums > Space into the second verse? This is definitely why this is here.

This is seriously good. Should be ranked higher because of the energy in the crowd alone.
