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.

Dear Mr. Fantasy

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.

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

Agree with iknowyourider. The amount of empty space early in this DS is frightening and beautiful. Also love what Phil plays at 22:46.

Bobby's playing is amazing in the jam.

One of my fave tapes from way back when. So many great moments from Jerry and Phil, especially in the transition and during Fire.

Jerry is really paying attention to this. Great emotion and inspiration vocally and in the solo.
