This version rewards multiple listens. Like it was good the first time, great the second. I hesitate to listen to it again. Bobby leads the way.

Jerry plays one brilliant idea after another as Phil provides counterpoint.

There are surprisingly few really great versions of this tune, and this is one of them. Jerry takes his time, layering burning, melodic phrases.

When I Paint My Masterpiece

The Omni

They found the right (slower) tempo for this in later years. Also Bobby learned not to oversing. The moments when his voice fills with rage now work.

Crisler Arena

Jerry's playing simultaneously causes and scratches an itch inside your brain. Spooky comping by Bobby.

This is an insane version. Would be much higher if there was a SBD.

Great first solo and then everyone kills it in the jam, especially Bobby, Phil and Jerry
Ship of Fools
May 5, 1978
Thompson Arena - Dartmouth College

When Jerry wasn't paying attention (for whatever reason), it manifested itself in dropped beats. What he does at the end of this tune is not good.

Really interesting what Jerry plays during the verses and Bob's approach to the intro.
