Download series #8. Just an effortlessly smooth version all around; great vocals and flowing leads from jerry. The epitome of all that is fall '73.

I agree grendel, this version is definitely better than 6/30/85; it brings the serious funk!

"Alahambra" should really be labeled "At a Siding", since that is what this piece is called on the album version of the Terrapin Suite. But technicalities aside, this is a good one, and not just for the historical significance.

Awesome extended soloing in this one

One of the all-time best Crypticals IMO. They really take this one up a notch towards the end.
