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

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

Ramble On Rose

Foxboro Stadium

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.

Shoreline Amphitheatre

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

Black Peter

Cleveland Public Hall

Jerry's playing is better at this show than even four days before, like he's finally getting used to Tiger. Listen to the control and emotion in the solo.
Franklin's Tower
Nov. 9, 1979
Memorial Auditorium

The end of this is outrageous
Estimated Prophet
Nov. 5, 1979
The Spectrum

Phil plays something wild at the end of the jam. Doesn't even sound like him - maybe he's plucking with his fingers? Anyway it's cool

Civic Center

Jerry sings this carefully and with feeling. Last solo is big.
Not Fade Away
Nov. 2, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

At 10 minutes there's the ghost of a St. Stephen tease that has all of Long Island cheering, but of course the boys succeed in disappointing. Great NFA.
