Listen to the SBD of this for a great example of Bobby's subtle, beautiful playing

Listen to how Jerry begins the second chorus of his solo. Brilliant. Mickey drives this hard too. Heat builds up in the set leading to this.

Solid version of this tune. Less of a trainwreck when played later in the set it seems.

First great post-coma moment. Phil is unbelievable throughout. Jerry's in it to win it. Check the SBD.

Incredible touch and feeling in Jerry's solo.

Jerry forgets more words than he remembers but as often happens in such cases the solos are burning - especially the second one over the verses and the second one in the coda.

Jerry's solo really sneaks up on you. Listen to the crowd lose it with the way he starts the last chorus.

Great solo. You know Jerry's feeling it when he plays an extra chorus
