Jerry and Bobby are great here. Burning.

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)

Easily the best version of this song I've ever heard. Listen to how Jerry sings!

If shows with great sounding SBs are overrated, the opposite is true. Jerry is burning this night and his solo here is spectacular.

New Minglewood Blues

Fox Theatre

One of the best versions of this era. Jerry is loose and free. Bobby plays a great slide solo (really).

Boutwell Auditorium

The transition jam is longer than previous versions and many later ones, and Jerry goes somewhere in it. That should have happened more.

Phil is great as the comments say but Jerry is the one who is really feeling it in the jam.

Love how Bobby climbs to the peak. Great jam after too.

Broome County Arena

Huge 20-minute version. Jerry is full of ideas and loose and free. Bobby plays a great slide riff at almost 12 minutes in.

Recreation Hall - Penn State University

Another third chorus in the solo and Jerry rips it up
