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!

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.
