One of the best I've heard...near-perfect, I dare say!

This BS has a bit of a sparse, rugged feel to it…like an eagle soaring high above the Rockies on a winter’s day as dusk gives way to the starry night. At one point during the first jam, all five are sort of doing their own thing, yet still so together. During the second jam, Bob and Keith do some pretty far out stuff conceptually in relation to what Jerry is doing. Phil is like the wind on this one...'invisible,' yet carrying the bird along.

Jerry throws himself off with that chugging little rhythm during the agreed upon 14-beat false start, progressively falling out of time with the others, then rolls through the stop at the end of the 14...LOL
