This isn't here because...? Totally hot, Jerry and Brent experiment with some interesting tones during the jam. Unique. From a flamethrower of a show.

Along with "Touch" and "Candyman," one of the big emotional highlights of Jerry's return.

Nice Phil / Jerry interplay into "Terrapin."

Excellent version. Jerry's crisp and alert. Can hang in most eras.

One of the best versions of the slow arrangements I've ever heard. Played with strength and power by all.
Big River

Madison Square Garden

Show deserves a big listen as we draw closer to the release of the new box set. This is a magnificent early 1980s' show where literally every song cooks. This "Big River" is crazy good. Lightning fast riffs from Jerry, the dam really breaks on this one.

This is indeed an extremely good "Big River." Bobby's vocals are spectacular.

This version is currently streaming in the new mix from the MSG box set that is coming out soon. It sounds fantastic. Jerry's lead lines are beautiful and his vocals are full of charisma. Easily one of the best "Althea"'s of all time.
