Disturbing, coherent space featuring Phil and Donna vocals, leading beautifully into Terrapin

Great jam. Jerry and Phil lead the way with Jerry finding some amazing spaces.

Love how Jerry starts his first solo. The rest is great too. His playing is easy and free.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Great Scarlet solo

Sorry to get technical, but the five notes Jerry plays in the second phrase of the solo are the sort of thing that kill me
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication

LL isn't great but Supplication is burning, raging hot. Funny how they would do that. Bobby's playing is awesome. Also needs to be noted that Brent's organ playing is perfect for these tunes.

They take it way out and everyone is killing it. Specially Bobby. And Phil. And Jerry. And Keith. And Billy.

This outro jam sounds great on headphones and in your living room but it probably never sounded better than wafting over a sea of VW buses in a pre-show parking lot circa 1991.
