Fantastic jam. Everyone looks alive. Bobby and Brent drive it.

Recreation Hall - Penn State University

One of the best I've ever heard. Jerry is on fire, Bobby sings great, and drummers are right there.

Jerry has to be feeling it for this tune to work and he's on fire here

Sneaky, searching solo is worth a listen.

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.

The end of this is outrageous

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

Jerry sings this carefully and with feeling. Last solo is big.

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.
