Convincing vocal performance by Jer. Especially second verse.

Rowdy, spirited version. Jerry not quite done with it when everyone else is.

Listen to Phil on this one. Then listen to Bobby.

The Fox theater

OK, I'll say it: "I can't believe this isn't on here." Majestic, powerful MD. Jerry on a mission. Bobby playing clippety-cloppety sounds in the coda.

Wharf Rat

Capitol Theater

Love the giant, looping flurries of notes Jerry plays at the beginning and in the end jam.
Ramble On Rose
March 9, 1981
Madison Square Garden

Fantastic solo. Cutting, percussive, angry. The riff he plays at the beginning of the second chorus is a monster. Then it's quieter, melodic, settling in triplets until, big surprise, Jerry remembers the words to the Crazy Otto verse.

Yeah the last jam is crazy, crazy, crazy great. What Phil and Bobby are doing, wow.
New Minglewood Blues

Boston Garden

Jerry comes out swinging right away in the jam. It's short but beautiful, with structure and balance like a composition
