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.

How is this not on here? Dark and deep, dominated by Phil and Bobby.

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.

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

Brent sings this great and Jerry totally kills it
