This is when I thought the show locked in.

Jerry's just on fire throughout this whole show. They jam the beginning for a while before the first verse at a nice, brisk clip.

Bit slower than the ones I usually groove on, but Jerry's bounce started off a very fine day for me.

Nice shuffle. Jerry and Donna's vocals on this sound great (how many times can you find that?)

Not the best ever, but the live premiere. Listen to the AUD to hear the crowd flip!

Yeah this is pretty nasty.

Tempo problems and a weird set ender.

There's a new upgrade of this at LMA. I've always loved the fully organic way this grows from the tuning and evolves into the two-headed dragon of Phil and Jerry's feedback.

Eyes > Estimated > Franklin's. Jerry seems like he runs out of a gas a bit during the between-verse jams, but then he doesn't.
