I'll try to link something later, but three songs from the "Without A Net" CD come to mind:

-- Feel Like a Stranger
-- Chinacat -> Rider

Really interesting Bobby, taken from a great tour.
I think that's exactly what Bobby had to do to prove his worth and carve out a space. From '65 into '68, Bobby was not doing that. Jerry had no need for a traditional rhythm guitarist. Bobby had to become Bobby Weird. Fortunately, he was well suited for the role and created an extremely unique guitar style. Nobody has ever played rhythm guitar like Bobby. In Bobby's case, it may be better called second guitar.
