Comes right off a top shelf Scarlet Fire this has some poignant and bright Jerry playing. Really incredible 77 take.

Very surprised this wasn’t on here, a very fine Euro 72 version. Just right.

Jerry’s final solo is perfectly concocted. lots of quiet ambient searching, then a pure explosion into fanning, then some double slides, into more fanning. epic.

Slipknot is a jazz fest, incredible improvisation here it really paints a spacey picture. probably my favorite slip.

Jerry really goes there for the solo. Super tight swinging version.

This absolutely smokes, the 2020 Betty Board captures it perfectly.
