Short rocker with expanded forces. Killer.

Can't believe this isn't on here. Worth hearing for what Hornsby plays behind Bobby, much less Branford.

Phenomenal stuff.

I wanted a great '84 S>F, I came, I got one.
Not Fade Away

McArthur Court, U of Oregon

Jerry is so far into the zone here it’s almost ludicrous. Nice repeated note anchoring idea about 10:00 in, which gives us a hint of the overlapping parts I associate with ’73 era ensemble playing, and the ending vocal jam doesn’t disappoint either.
St. Stephen

McArthur Court, U of Oregon

I think it works as a stand-alone version, from the "Close Encounters" jam, or in the middle of that titanic second set jam. What's not to love about this?

McArthur Court, U of Oregon

Agree that the version isn't anything out of the ordinary, but it does kick off a great sequence.
