Ramble On Rose

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

Big River

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.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Winterland Arena

Should be higher, like the band was this night. Monster version. Phil amazing. Love the theme Jerry gets into in the last Fire solo.

Pauley Pavilion

I love this long, leisurely version where you can really hear the singing and Keith. Also love the meandering jam after it into St. Stephen.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo

Golden Hall, Community Concourse

I love it when Jerry takes such an awesome solo that he can't sing the first part of the next verse. Raucous, fantastic version
The Music Never Stopped

Fox Theatre

Great version. The jam tells the story right.
