Listen to the SBD of this for a great example of Bobby's subtle, beautiful playing

Listen to how Jerry begins the second chorus of his solo. Brilliant. Mickey drives this hard too. Heat builds up in the set leading to this.

Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

Solid version of this tune. Less of a trainwreck when played later in the set it seems.

First great post-coma moment. Phil is unbelievable throughout. Jerry's in it to win it. Check the SBD.

Stanley Theatre

The interplay between Jerry and Bobby in the jam is fantastic
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Great Scarlet solo
Candyman

Warfield Theater

Sorry to get technical, but the five notes Jerry plays in the second phrase of the solo are the sort of thing that kill me
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
Oct. 13, 1980
Warfield Theater

LL isn't great but Supplication is burning, raging hot. Funny how they would do that. Bobby's playing is awesome. Also needs to be noted that Brent's organ playing is perfect for these tunes.

They take it way out and everyone is killing it. Specially Bobby. And Phil. And Jerry. And Keith. And Billy.
