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

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)

Boston Garden

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

Cumberland County Civic Center

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

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.

Sometimes in the darkness of a mid-Spring tour in 1983 the most predictable song played at the most predictable time is burning hot.

Patrick Gymnasium, U of Vermont

Beautiful, economical, expressive solo by Jerry
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
June 18, 1983
Saratoga Performing Arts Center

Staggering. Listen to the Jim Wise aud. Jerry's Scarlet solo is outrageous, Brent's playing is brilliant throughout, especially the marimba patch. Jam is super sparkly, dominated by Mickey's cowbell and Bobby's dog and cat noises. Listen to what Jerry starts to play at about 11:45. Fire is slow and dark. Agreed that Bobby's repeated vocal flub is great and should have been made part of the song.
