Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

Huge version. Weird that it's not on here. Jerry is brilliant from the first note of the intro. Listen to him starting at 9:05. Brent great too.

Jerry really connects the dots in the solo. The first few phrases in particular are sublime.

Brooding, hypnotizing version. Beautiful playing by Jerry and Brent, and brilliant vocal with unexpected touches.

He's Gone

Stanley Theatre

The interplay between Jerry and Bobby in the jam is fantastic
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Warfield Theater

Great Scarlet solo
Candyman

Warfield Theater

Sorry to get technical, but the five notes Jerry plays in the second phrase of the solo are the sort of thing that kill me
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication
Oct. 13, 1980
Warfield Theater

LL isn't great but Supplication is burning, raging hot. Funny how they would do that. Bobby's playing is awesome. Also needs to be noted that Brent's organ playing is perfect for these tunes.

Alexandra Palace

They take it way out and everyone is killing it. Specially Bobby. And Phil. And Jerry. And Keith. And Billy.
