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.

The intro has a Dark Star vibe. Great version.

Fantastic, raucous version. Great solo. Great slide playing by Bobby (you heard me right).

Heavy, intense version. Listen to Phil as well as Jerry in the jam.

St. Paul Civic Center Arena

Jerry gives it all in the solo. Had to listen to it twice. Even the parts that don't sound good sound great when you listen again.

Uptown Theater

Weird raggedy version with some amazing Jerry moments. Also love the guy who yells when Phil comes in on the intro.
