Everyone sounds great on this outrageous version. Check out Brent's vocals and playing, as well as Bobby's playing. Burning.

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

Activity Center - University of Colorado

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
May 21, 1982
Greek Theatre, U. Of California

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

Brent sings this great and Jerry totally kills it
