Jerry and Bobby are great here. Burning.

Easily the best version of this song I've ever heard. Listen to how Jerry sings!

If shows with great sounding SBs are overrated, the opposite is true. Jerry is burning this night and his solo here is spectacular.

New Minglewood Blues

Fox Theatre

One of the best versions of this era. Jerry is loose and free. Bobby plays a great slide solo (really).

Boutwell Auditorium

The transition jam is longer than previous versions and many later ones, and Jerry goes somewhere in it. That should have happened more.

A beautiful piece of music from beginning to end

50 years ago today. Every moment of this incredible version is seared into my brain. What they play at 16:00 for exactly 1 minute kills me every time.

Speaking of outro jams, this one is worth a listen. Jerry full of ideas, Bobby pushing him along. You can skip right to it tho.

Red Rocks Ampitheatre

Long, quiet, melancholy version. Great Jerry/Keith interplay.

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Agree with bike guy that this should be at least as high as the band was. Jerry's solo before SSDD is mindbending.
