Listen to the last 3 minutes of the jam before >Drums. Really unique and one of my favorite Brent solos.

Great opener along with the Franklin's. Jerry has some hot licks in this one.

Cool drum segment that drifts into a space that is kind of like Ollin Arrageed with Spanish jam licks.

I love how the unique transition jam comes back up again later on in the show during the Estimated > Eyes transition.

Everytime this song comes up I always lament that this song could have been an amazing jam vehicle for the band. These short but jazzy '79 versions show why. I always wish the pre "Flight of the seabirds" jam was stretched out just a bit more.

Jerry really battles his guitar to get the solo out in this version. Lots of feedback problems. Jerry eventually prevails which makes for a cool version worthy of a listen.

Nice one, 2nd set scorcher.

This version is amazing. May be my new #1. I don't think Jerry's fingers could move any faster then they do here.
