Remarkable solo, down to the last note.

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.

Franklin's Tower

Nassau Coliseum

Huge version won't quit. Agree with Mercury that Bobby stands out.
They Love Each Other

Nassau Coliseum

Phil is doing something very far out on this, especially during Jerry's solo. Needs to be heard.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Oct. 28, 1979
Cape Cod Coliseum

Bobby's playing and sound in the transition are great. Amusing that he goes into Jerry's "I wish I was..." verse. Jerry's chordal solo at the end is fantastic.
Shakedown Street

New Haven Coliseum

You have the feeling this is a monster version from the first downbeat and you're not wrong.
The Other One
Aug. 13, 1979
McNichols Arena

Very dense and dynamic. Great transition out of He's Gone
