Excellent harmonica solo from Pig.

New Minglewood Blues

Capitol Theater

Keith and Bobby absolutely crush it, setting up a white hot solo from Jerry to kick off a brilliant show.

The Music Never Stopped
June 17, 1976
Capitol Theater

Swirling, cohesive and inspired. It may not hit the rousing peaks of 78, but it's damn fine.

The Wheel

Beacon Theatre

Ecstatic and confident with a sweet transition into Sugar Mags.

Mexicali Blues
May 19, 1974
Portland Memorial Coliseum

This one takes a sharp left turn into some weird tones and aggressive soloing from Keith and Jerry.

Caution
May 11, 1972
Rotterdam Civic Hall

Multiple heady passages, including a super bluesy Other One jam early on. Top shelf version.
Spanish Jam
April 28, 1985
Frost Amphitheatre

I'm not hearing it. Very cool Space, but no Spanish Jam here
Playin' In The Band
April 28, 1985
Frost Amphitheatre

Just because it's not epic in length doesn't mean it isn't super heavy and full of great ideas. Lovely version.
Me and Bobby McGee
April 24, 1972
Rheinhalle

There are too many versions I like better to give this one an upvote, but Keith's piano fills on this version are worthy of mention.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 24, 1972
Rheinhalle

Jerry does some very cool chordal jamming in the transition jam that struck me as fairly unique.
