Hornsby always makes Jerry play better. Here's the AUD I've been loving: https://archive.org/details/gd1991-06-14.sennME80.wklitz.94371.flac16

Short (and an AUD patch), but kicks off a wonderful sequence.

Nice to hear everyone else rise to the occasion and turn a standard reading into something better.

They continue the blues-themed playing throughout “Stagger Lee” (which has SBD problems (a channel missing?) until about 2 minutes in), “MAMU” (where Bobby sounds vocally fatigued, singing very short phrases with more straining than inflection), > “Mexicali Blues” (highlights are Bobby singing “per-foome” for some reason, and some interesting MIDI trumpet, keyboard, and Bobby interplay, although Weir is quite low in the mix).

Agree that this version is overlooked, but this show has some glaring flaws that Barton and any number of other shows from this run just don't have (first and foremost: huge amounts of dead air and downtime).

Some of the best playing from the entire night. Rather underrated.

IMHO, this is one of the only tracks from this show truly worth the massive hype surrounding it.
