This is the first Desolation that really clicked for me; could never forget the other Bob singing it, but not this one; from a solid first set--

Real heady, thoughtful, slide-style licks put this in another stratosphere.

Nice version, but Jerry's voice here is just shot. A shame, cuz the band is really dialed in.

Silky . . . Jerry strikes a great tone in the solo with the Travis Bean -- love it!

Great energy, Jerry is really up and the boys work together magically throughout this tune like much of this run.

Jerry gets the words wrong a bit at the beginning, but this is my go-to Peggy-O -- the band is connected, Jerry has a lovely solo, and the groove is just perfect. Later in the set is a Row Jimmy for all-time as well. Great show.
