Last half of this jam is incredible. There is a point where Lesh completely takes over. From there on is stunning

Absolutely lovely version. Jerry's vocals are spot on and crisp.

This is so perfectly paced. Delicate and patient, to a chilling peak. Love instances where the boys show that they can still dial into the magic in the later years.

Always loved this monster Fire. Such a deep cut - very heady for any era. Oregon sparked the best in the boys

Phil is all over this like stink on a monkey. Jerry shred drives the crowd into a frenzy. Super peaky finish. Choice!

The jam in this is super hot and creative. Relatively short it may be, but this packs a nice punch.
