Folsom Field

Jerry means every note in this solo. Love the false harmonics and power chords.

Mexicali Blues

Nassau Coliseum

Jerry's solo will wake you the fuck up with chills down your spine. Phil and Bobby are going for it too.

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
May 12, 1980
Boston Garden

Just when you think this is a throwaway tune it isn't. Jerry kills, kills, kills the solo. And sings.

Cumberland County Civic Center

Jerry takes a completely different approach to the jam, takes it way far out

Rec Hall, Penn State U

Love how Jerry leaps from bluegrass riffs to blues bends in his early solos. At the end Bobby and Jerry are twisting and turning around each other.

Candyman

Nassau Coliseum

Beautiful version. Lots of subtlety and emotion in Jerry's vocal. He kills it in the solo and his lick before the repeated chorus at the end cuts like a knife.
Franklin's Tower
May 15, 1980
Nassau Coliseum

Huge version with heroic solos. Billy is the driving force.
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
May 14, 1980
Nassau Coliseum

Another great mysterious, meandering jam out of Saint and into a great Comes a Time
Terrapin Station
May 11, 1980
Cumberland County Civic Center

Love the emphatic singing and angry riffs from Jerry
Uncle John's Band
May 8, 1980
Glens Falls Civic Center

Jerry's middle solo is brilliant. Cutting, piercing.
