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.

Big River

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.

You can hear Brent listen. Also love when Jerry switches to fingerpicking in the solo.

This is a great one, with Jerry and Phil inspired throughout, and a jam into Stella no less
Big River

Selland Arena

Jerry takes this Big River by the throat.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo

Arlington Theater

Phil is great on this and I love how Jerry holds back and takes his time on the solos, waiting for something to happen. Burning fire at the end too.

Golden Hall

Phil is incredible in the second solo.
