Jerry really connects the dots in the solo. The first few phrases in particular are sublime.

Brooding, hypnotizing version. Beautiful playing by Jerry and Brent, and brilliant vocal with unexpected touches.

Best Brent solo I've ever heard on this tune. Jerry follows up in style.

Great solo with brilliant Brent accents, and then burning coda. Check out what Jerry plays at 6:06. Listen to the Bob Morris aud.

Jerry quotes Miles Davis's Freedom Jazz Dance, which he used to play with Merle

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Manor Downs

The phrase Jerry plays in the transition at around 10:30 kills me, a searching little melody and its response with the volume pedal

Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

Beautiful searching, inquisitive solos, plus you get to hear Jerry telling us to get yourself a parking lot
