Clean, beautiful version. Jerry has some slick licks and Keith does some great work at the end

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.
