Jerry is on point in the first set. Excellent version with mournful vocals, crisp effected guitars, and strong Vince. Recommended!

Beautiful! The pain is there, but Jerry is lucid and feeling it. Flows nicely into Throwing Stones

Excellent mid-80s version. Jerry is very lucid in this show, heartfelt and floaty version.

Love this version. Not jammed out, but incredibly delivered and fun.

very well performed. Re-master on the RFK boxset is sublime. Someone is triggering dramatic thunderstorm sound effects around the 7:00 mark.

Dupree's Diamond Blues

Knickerbocker Arena

how can a rugged 69 version compare to the tightness of a spring 90 version? Different eras, different qualities to admire. 65-95 - something good to find everywhere if you're open to it.

really high quality playing from everyone. Jerry hitting 90% of the high notes. His octaved down tone at the beginning is sublime.
