Jerry sounds tired and pained here, which of course is perfect. For some reason he usually doesn't nail the solo in this tune but he does here.

There's an Eleven tease in the middle of the Other One tease at the end of this Space.

Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

Huge version. Weird that it's not on here. Jerry is brilliant from the first note of the intro. Listen to him starting at 9:05. Brent great too.

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.
The Music Never Stopped
Aug. 23, 1980
Alpine Valley Music Theater

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.
