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.

Jerry has that super emphatic, dynamic and expressive tone in his picking, especially in the coda.

It's fun when things go so completely off the rails that Jerry is suddenly soloing on different changes and they sing the wrong lyrics on the wrong chords. Bobby fucks this up so much. Jerry is sharp though.

Love the melody Phil plays at the end. He just invents a new tune. Wish everyone played along with it some more.
Bird Song

Greek Theatre, U. Of California

Jerry lays out crystal clear ideas in the jam, one after the other.
