Fallout from the Phil Zone. Unique, one of the finest early versions.

HUGE early Dancin', possibly the best ever--they are just totally dialed into one another like fingers of a hand!

Wow, this is superb. Jerry is brutal and sharp as a tack during the intro jam! After that things get more introspective but quite beautiful...

One of the heaviest crescendos ever; the peaks are just unbelievable!

Great pre verse jams on this one...very jazzy. The post verse tiger/space gets pretty nuts.

Amazing, the post verse jams are some of the wildest and trippiest of all time...Keith and Jerry wail!!!

A beautiful, jazzy, and mellow rendition with a nice unique intro by Jerry. Love how fresh they kept this song in this era.
