Highlights for me were Bobby's voice bouncing around the hall and Jerry's super sweet tone.

Quick tempo and nice bounce, with some great band support under Jerry's triplet ideas during the solo.

Even the "Drums" from this show is a step-above, and > "Wheel."

Best reminder that they're a really, really good rock band.

Just listening for the first time now... What a ride!

Capitol Theater

Powerful version! [edit:] I think the first half of the DS gets super trippy, I like it. I dig the whole sequence, but the jam, of course.

Ohio Theatre

Great version, with something for everyone.

St. Paul Civic Center Arena

The solo is one of my favorite Jerry moments from a month full of them. He's confident enough to attempt and land a solo that gets pretty far out at times.
