Filter attack on the bridge, contrasts well with the burst-into-flames version from the night before

Clean and exploratory, with active Brent, yet not as telepathic as others

Quite enthusiastic/ recording is crip --- test me, test me... BOOM!

Elastic and lilting drive – perfect for those somersaulting leads out of the halfpipe

But a snippet of its ancestral epics, Jerry delivers enough HCS concentrate to raise more than a few goosebumps

Fairly monstrous, this one is. Jerry painting the transition environment, first a bit like 3/9/81, then Phil landing some serious blows, with drummers punching holes throughout. Interestingly, that structured round-up piece that marks most versions isn’t reached, instead the continued swell moves into a different type of frenzy. Usual fat break after wild geese verse, but then after the sun will shine verse, the chorus is returned to. After the next juicy break, the northbound, bass-fueled, train arrives, again followed by the chorus, leaving yet another opportunity for Jerry to baste this thing -- in this instance with pointed power strumming -- until its well-cooked.

What a magic sleigh ride!
