Space
If you like some of Jerry's guitar effects from early versions of "Dark Star," give this a listen! Short but sweet.

Not Fade Away
Hits a great groove early on, with some cool interplay before the first verse.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
I think Jerry's working ideas out in new places in the fretboard during the "China" solo, and Brent is contributing some interesting colors.
