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.

Candyman

Nassau Coliseum

Beautiful version. Lots of subtlety and emotion in Jerry's vocal. He kills it in the solo and his lick before the repeated chorus at the end cuts like a knife.
Franklin's Tower
May 15, 1980
Nassau Coliseum

Huge version with heroic solos. Billy is the driving force.
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
May 14, 1980
Nassau Coliseum

Another great mysterious, meandering jam out of Saint and into a great Comes a Time
Terrapin Station
May 11, 1980
Cumberland County Civic Center

Love the emphatic singing and angry riffs from Jerry
Uncle John's Band
May 8, 1980
Glens Falls Civic Center

Jerry's middle solo is brilliant. Cutting, piercing.
