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

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).

Can't believe it took me so long to hear this one! Great version.

Welcome aboard! I've always dug the December '73 versions (don't miss 12/6 on your way to 12/19!)

Great minds think alike! I'd say it's a coin flip if I prefer 5-1 or 5-2, they're both incredible shows.
