Jerry shreds this one to pieces! Full hose, on blast, doesn't let up. Shit is badass

Love me some later Cassidy's because many stretch the jam just a little longer. This one hits a great sweet spot

For me, this is the definitive version. Several movements in jamming, and the psychedelic jazz at the ending is pure fire. Love this one.

Coincidentally, i also spun this yesterday and yes, this is spacey, but maintains coherency. It doesn't dissolve in cacophony, and stays fluent, focused, and psychedelic throughout. Certainly a very worthy versions and the following Wheel is choice taboot!

Jerry's solo in the middle is magnificent. His series of descending notes are wonderful, then strong gallop to a peaky, fan-y finish. Not the tightest version necessarily, but a goodie for sure.

The initial solo is instant Jerry touches with spine tingling results.
