Part of a legendary 53 minute DS>MLB>Eyes>Doll segue, and it serves as a perfect windup section before settling into a dreamy eyes. Words can’t describe the beauty of it.

Listen to this one with the new Charlie Miller source, deserving of a lot more votes. Jazzy early 73 Dead style.

Keith is setting the mood, and as usual Jerry turns in a stellar China Doll performance. This whole segue is just as good as the 11/11/73 DS>Eyes>Doll

Keith’s keys, Jerry’s patient soloing, and then the beautifully sung and played outro. Lovely.
