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

power of 85- makes 70's versions sound pretty weak yanno

70s versions i've heard honestly fall flat compared to this. Jerry's guitar is just razor sharp and so powerful, and the way it disintegrates is absolutely stunning.

Brent may not be as good as Keith, but he makes me smile a lot more and was way more consistent in the fire he brings. Keith was capable of subtle mind bending deliciousness, but it was more of a rare occurrence imo.

When scarlet opens into a jam and its all quiet and then all of a sudden keith and jerry just bloom into this beautiful descending interplay.. damn
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Memorial Stadium

Wow, I did not expect to find this level of transcendence in a 95 show. This coming from someone who has always avoided post-Brent material, maybe it's time I did a little delving
