Jerry’s solo is a fountain of melodic exuberance, reminiscent of the BEW earlier in the set.

Worth switching to the AUD to hear the explosive ending after the SBD cuts out. Just awe-inspiring.

Freaky electro Drums. In Space, listen for Bobby’s wild playing shortly before Jerry segues into Miracle.

I couldn't believe how good this version is. Can sometimes take or leave the song, but this is INCREDIBLE.
