Pauley Pavilion

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

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).

Great version. Lots to unpack in this one, and on first listen, I can hear the ABB influence.

Points for its place in the sequence, the blistering guitar runs, and Keith being on fire.

grendel nailed this one. Hop on board this one! (edit) Sorry, didn't want to disrespect anyone else who commented, it was just that comment that really helped me unlock this version. You all have great taste!
