Jerry is very, very sharp on this. Except for the lyrics.

Amazing Bobby/Phil jam at the end of this one.

This version rewards multiple listens. Like it was good the first time, great the second. I hesitate to listen to it again. Bobby leads the way.

Jerry plays one brilliant idea after another as Phil provides counterpoint.

Great interplay between Jerry and Brent

Bombs is right. Worth listening to for what Phil does to the jam.
They Love Each Other

Deer Creek Music Center

Agree with Johnny that Jerry plays a great solo here. He takes a very unusual approach, focuses hard, and breaks new ground.
Dire Wolf
Oct. 19, 1974
Winterland Arena

Love the slow arrangement of this tune. The second phrase in Jerry's first solo (what other commenters are identifying as Crazy Fingerish) is monumental and heartbreaking.
Loose Lucy

Winterland Arena

Pre-break versions are so much better than the lumbering, dreary 90s ones. Phil and Billy sound so good here, and Jerry's solo is spacy and loose.
