More good blues from this great early show. Check out Pig's harp solo too.

Honest note: second night in a row listening, so far the magic for me is in the first set. I think the energy really drops off in the second, but it's still very good.

Also, here’s a fun fact: you can hear Bobby take the energy level back up by reading the crowd. He hears their clapping, and then plays that same rhythm, but slightly faster than they are. The tempo also forces Jerry to lighten up, which helps him play faster and cleaner. Even the band is into this by the end, listen to the vocals! Give this whole show a listen, seriously.

Agreed—I'm a Jerry man and this is it. Right back to the country steel guitar of the first set to round out the night.
