Exceptional solo by Jerry

Warfield Theater

Jerry is very, very sharp on this. Except for the lyrics.

Amazing Bobby/Phil jam at the end of this one.

Ramble On Rose
July 14, 1990
Foxboro Stadium

This version rewards multiple listens. Like it was good the first time, great the second. I hesitate to listen to it again. Bobby leads the way.

Shoreline Amphitheatre

Jerry plays one brilliant idea after another as Phil provides counterpoint.

The Music Never Stopped
Aug. 23, 1980
Alpine Valley Music Theater

Phil blows my mind with what he plays at the very beginning of the jam. Lots of peaks and Alpine Valleys in the jam itself.

Alpine Valley Music Theater

The first time I heard the solo I didn't notice it. The second time, I liked it. The third time, I loved it. The fourth time, you get the idea.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Aug. 17, 1980
Kansas City Municipal Auditorium Arena

Double solos in Scarlet are great, especially the second one. Angry and finally resigned. Also notable that Jerry plays the coda with the mutron right away.
They Love Each Other
Aug. 16, 1980
Mississippi River Festival

Jerry means every note in the solo and especially the ones he doesn't play.
Ain't Superstitious (Meet Me on the Bottom)
March 29, 1985
Nassau Coliseum

^ The YouTube of it is funny https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ERRwGJY_4Y. Kelly picks up a stick at the end and tries to say something to Mickey but just skulks away. It's heartwarming to see Mickey standing up for his brother Billy like that
