There's something beautiful about how ragged this is

Augusta Civic Center

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 :)
