Not sure why this Jerry track didn't stay in rotation. This one is the goods

Definitely worth listening to for the rhythmic oddity. I can't tell whether it was purposeful or just out of sync (I felt like the former, but not certain?). Worth it for something different, if nothing else

Very choice. I felt like this cracked my head open, then patiently melded it back together on a concerted listen.

Absolutely cracks with energy. The ramp up is a powerhouse. So strange, almost a year gap until this version, then not played again until Nov '79. They made this one count at least!

Tizzy of frantic jamming, then boils down into a bluesy goo > flawless transition to Death Don't Have
