You can hear Brent listen. Also love when Jerry switches to fingerpicking in the solo.

Jerry takes charge in the jam and doesn't put a foot wrong. Waits for the others before the peak. Deceptively profound version.

Builds and builds and Jerry sticks the dagger in at the end
Space

Jerry quotes Miles Davis's Freedom Jazz Dance, which he used to play with Merle

Compton Terrace Amphitheatre
