One of the best solos I've heard on this tune. If you like your solos light on notes and heavy on feeling, listen up.

The intervals and touch and chromatic phrases in the solo are fantastic

Beautiful touch on the solo, notes that you can hear disappearing

Madison Square Garden

Fantastic solo. Cutting, percussive, angry. The riff he plays at the beginning of the second chorus is a monster. Then it's quieter, melodic, settling in triplets until, big surprise, Jerry remembers the words to the Crazy Otto verse.

Yeah the last jam is crazy, crazy, crazy great. What Phil and Bobby are doing, wow.

Jerry comes out swinging right away in the jam. It's short but beautiful, with structure and balance like a composition

The Palladium

Jerry is flying and his tone sounds amazing in this aud. Piles of ideas. And it's unusual to hear him play completely unaccompanied as he does into Wharf Rat
