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

Capital Centre

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'

Playin' In The Band

Jahrhunderthalle

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

Fillmore West

This one had to grow on me--but I'm really digging it. It's so hypnotic, but it never goes into Interstellar Overdrive like some DS's I prefer---but Jerry's playing is so mesmerizing. I'm always floored by Bob Dylan's tribute to him where he places him in a lineage of American musicians with Ornette Coleman. I can totally hear that in his playing here

Rheinhalle

Soulful vocals I can't get enough of
Cold Rain and Snow
