Extra heady free jazz jamz in the middle, of course the start is completely botched with Jerry apparently forgetting the opening riff

Solid performance with aching and reaching singing, instruments on point.

vocally pretty bad, but Jerry tears up the guitar. Vocal coda is handled well

Solid later year version. Jerry is dialed in and vocals and guitar are on point

Hell yeah, middle jam is damn fiery, and brent kills it on some solos for his first show!

for sure, i've been digging a lot into 95 lately and this is a great example of jerrys reduced guitar skills leading to a way spacier and relaxed gooey solo break

jesus this is grimey. 95 gets to some bizarre places when Jerry can't quite manage what he used to, but still wants to explore the sonic spectrum

Vocal jamming is ominous and sick on this one

Hmmm, I don't hear any of the jitters here. So relaxed, fluid explorations of everything. Even the meltdown is awesome and logical to my ears
