Jam is exceptional. Love Bobby and Keith's chords jabbing and punctuating Jerry's lead

Sneaky version with great playing by Keith and Jerry. Love what Jerry plays at the end of the jam.

I know they should have played Dark Star in Egypt. But this is a fantastic EP. Dynamic, dramatic, Jerry on fire.

Huge, 18-minute version with great dynamics, deep vocals. Bobby's slide playing and interplay with Jerry are great.

They Love Each Other

Nassau Coliseum

Phil is doing something very far out on this, especially during Jerry's solo. Needs to be heard.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Cape Cod Coliseum

Bobby's playing and sound in the transition are great. Amusing that he goes into Jerry's "I wish I was..." verse. Jerry's chordal solo at the end is fantastic.

New Haven Coliseum

You have the feeling this is a monster version from the first downbeat and you're not wrong.
The Other One

McNichols Arena

Very dense and dynamic. Great transition out of He's Gone

Phil is great as the comments say but Jerry is the one who is really feeling it in the jam.
