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.
