Ramble On Rose
June 7, 1980
Folsom Field

Jerry means every note in this solo. Love the false harmonics and power chords.

Mexicali Blues
May 14, 1980
Nassau Coliseum

Jerry's solo will wake you the fuck up with chills down your spine. Phil and Bobby are going for it too.

U.S. Blues (Wave That Flag)
May 12, 1980
Boston Garden

Just when you think this is a throwaway tune it isn't. Jerry kills, kills, kills the solo. And sings.

Feel Like A Stranger
May 11, 1980
Cumberland County Civic Center

Jerry takes a completely different approach to the jam, takes it way far out

Big River
May 6, 1980
Rec Hall, Penn State U

Love how Jerry leaps from bluegrass riffs to blues bends in his early solos. At the end Bobby and Jerry are twisting and turning around each other.

Franklin's Tower
Jan. 30, 1978
Uptown Theater

Intense, dynamic version. Goes to a lot of unexpected places.
Eyes Of The World
Jan. 30, 1978
Uptown Theater

This is a great one, with Jerry and Phil inspired throughout, and a jam into Stella no less
Big River
Jan. 15, 1978
Selland Arena

Jerry takes this Big River by the throat.
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Jan. 13, 1978
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.
Jack Straw
Jan. 7, 1978
Golden Hall

Phil is incredible in the second solo.
