Raggedly glorious vocals from the man matched only by crystal clear soloing

Jittery, dark industrial soundtrack vibes on this one. Love it

Laid back version with some really nice fusion style jamming. Doesn't had for deep space, but segues beautifully into a nice 'Uncle John's Band'

There's something beautiful about how ragged this is

The whole suite of music entangled with this song, drums, space, PITB...is so dark, strange and wonderful at different points and sometimes all it once. It's like a treatise on Americana flavored Modern Composition

Just got turned onto this version. Jerry's playing in the transition is so lethal yet so smooth...voice is ragged in the just the right way. Nice tempo I'm in :)

The jam is definitely concentrated like other commentators have added. Everything is intensely concise
