Absolutely sublime Jerry solo. Full of energy that’ll pump you up for the rest of your day. Keith’s also on saloon duty.

THIS JAM BEFORE TRUCKIN IS ABSOLUTE HEAT!!! An intergalactic swamp stomp that I could dance forever to. Really REALLY good stuff here.

A trip into a landscape of geometric patterns and brain scrambling psychedelia that feels different from others of this era. Fascinating stuff here.

Fun keyboard playing from Brent, reaches to the outer limits of our solar system, as Jerry takes everyone on a journey of many colors during the end.

Pure Jerry: Bay Area 1978 version. From one of the best JGB shows of all time, Jerry plays one of my all time favorite solos of his. Top Shelf version

@darkstar67 I’m currently listening to The Blue Mitchell Quintet, never heard of these cats before and they SWING. Looks like the timing has gone full circle because I’ve been in need of more jazz records! Glad you enjoyed this NFA, I’ve been really into Merl Saunders and Jerry’s side project Reconstruction as of late, if you like some good Motown soul, check this out: https://youtu.be/TdV3GD5Xg5U?si=WTyMLqy8hGb5S_qi When The Hunter Gets Captured by The Game is one of my favorite Jerry covers, and Jerry’s solo on this is a top contender for one of my favorites of all time. Wish we could rank JGB and other side projects on here, anyways, this concludes my long paragraph Lol.

What it lacks in length makes up for in blistering leads and one of the most passionate playthrough of this song I’ve heard. Pre Hiatus NFA’s are my drug of choice but I love the power in this one. Allows Jerry to do what he does best, and that’s tearing the house down.

When a Stephen is done right during this era it’s hard to beat. From incredibly delicate passages, like someone dancing in the snow above a thin layer of ice, to absolutely dynamite musical moments that delivers like no other. I love how this can equally be a mellow song to soothe the soul while also demanding your attention when the music reaches its peak. Love this whole Sequence of Eyes>Space>Stephen>Drums/Bass>NFA>Black Peter.

Showed this to one of my buddies and the first solo after the verse made him tear up. He made a great point, this is Jerry in his purest form, rather, what could’ve been if he hadn’t destroyed himself and believed in himself more. The pure magic exuding from his fingers is emblematic of the special person he is, and the worlds he creates through this amazing medium of music. Overall this Eyes is a testament to how far they’ve come, the jazzy mellow backbeat, sunflowers swaying in the wind. This is a delicately beautiful version. 77 is an absolute gem, and the space between this and St Stephen is an explorative journey into the unknown with Jerry harkening back the experimental passages of 72-74 but fully realized here. Stunning piece of music.
