Remarkable solo, down to the last note.

Estimated Prophet

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.

Great version at the end of an amazing 2nd set sequence. Love what Bobby plays at the end, and Jerry throughout.

The intro has a Dark Star vibe. Great version.
U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
July 7, 1978
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Fantastic, raucous version. Great solo. Great slide playing by Bobby (you heard me right).
Estimated Prophet

Omaha Civic Auditorium

Heavy, intense version. Listen to Phil as well as Jerry in the jam.
Pretty Peggy O

St. Paul Civic Center Arena

Jerry gives it all in the solo. Had to listen to it twice. Even the parts that don't sound good sound great when you listen again.
