The jam in this take blazes hotter than most any other - Jer throws an Eww! in there for good measure.

In true hard rocking '71 fashion - cover yer nuts.

2nd half of a double encore - listen to Jerry's unique phrasing so different then later versions.

JG beams out killer tones while Phil crushes heads in the People's Repbulic.

This is a supertight locomotive take - so very,very worth hearing. Everyone connects here.

Somebody please listen to this combo and confirm to me that I am crazy - the CC is super sweet but the IKYR shows what a sneaky fast picking MOFO JG really could be - blows my mind. Whole recording is warm and full.

Check out the whole show - some real jems at this one worth spending time on IMO. Jerry was fully engaged to my ears and the band was locked in. Space will blow your mind if you're not careful too!

Jerry goes on multiple cosmic banjo styled jams during this CC transition.

That's a 10-4 Gman. Hey Darkstar and G check the 7/14/85 ignore the year and tell me what you think - every time I hear it love it more.
