Jerry really connects the dots in the solo. The first few phrases in particular are sublime.

Brooding, hypnotizing version. Beautiful playing by Jerry and Brent, and brilliant vocal with unexpected touches.

Best Brent solo I've ever heard on this tune. Jerry follows up in style.

Great solo with brilliant Brent accents, and then burning coda. Check out what Jerry plays at 6:06. Listen to the Bob Morris aud.

How is this not on here? Dark and deep, dominated by Phil and Bobby.

Jerry does everything he possibly can at the moment in this tune

It's a good bet something interesting will happen when Jerry fucks up the first line of a song. The rest of the singing is deep and intense. Brilliant solos too.

Weird how Jerry pushes the tempo and plays power chords when he's frustrated. Fortunately Phil and the drummers keep up with him and there are so nasty-ass power chords and riffs here. Worth a listen.

Burning, desperate solo. Love it when Jerry plays with rage like this. Probably because Bob really effed him when they went into Miracle at the end of Stella Blue.

Phil blows my mind with what he plays at the very beginning of the jam. Lots of peaks and Alpine Valleys in the jam itself.
