Remarkable solo, down to the last note.

Henry J. Kaiser Auditorium

Notable because of what Bobby and Jerry play at the end of the jam. Fast forward to it if you need to.

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

Great version. Jerry plays angry, always a good sign. Check out his first solo. Also, Brent's mumbly jumbly solo is not too bad here.

Brilliant interplay between guitars. Convincing vox by Bobby.

You can hear Brent listen. Also love when Jerry switches to fingerpicking in the solo.

The false start on the fourth chorus of the solo is a thing Jerry does that I love so much

If you like your Altheas angry, bitter, and cutting, as opposed to mellow, this is the one for you. I love them all and this one is amazing. Surprised it's not higher.

Metropolitan Sports Center

Burning version. Jerry's last solo is fantastic. Listen to the crowd lose their minds when he goes full Chuck Berry in his last chorus.
Franklin's Tower

Milwaukee Auditorium

Jerry tries some very unique approaches during the solos and builds up lots of drama

Nassau Coliseum

The way Jerry slowly turns up the heat in the last solo is amazing. You don't know what's happening until it's over.
