The boys crank it into some serious high gear jamming in this one. Noice! Lesh: 'This is the quiet part folks'

As noted, the ramp up to run and see is hair raising. Def needs more daps!

Obviously this is off the charts, stratospherically awesome in every way possible. I'd have to do a blind taste test with Hartford and Alaska (why is that so low?) to see which i prefer most, but luckily i can just enjoy all three. From memory, i'd have to say Alaska, which takes nothing away from the other two

Flat out mesmerizing, deep thick funk SWAGGER. My favorite. Agree with previous comparisons to Cornell (re: flubs, depth, etc) - this is the go-to for me

Notable for not only just the segues both in and out of these UJBs, but flowing jamming throughout the song segments themselves
