Tender, soothing, perfect. Brimming with firecracker... jerry rips a mean fret-flyer or two

down to business in the mines of emotion. Tight and incredible. A gem of a intuitive version with lots of rootsy charisma and swingin' euphoria..

Slow and serious. Mickey is masterful as is the overall tone control.Solo could have had more satisfying crescendo, fun lowkey set 1 vibe

seems like this one needs an advocate, awesome early Brent bird!!! Growling, columnic fusion. What doesn't soar may still fly with just as much dignity, not just ecstasy.

swoops in and rescues a rough start to set 1 with cape, mask, and activated layered jams. Boisterous mickey thwacking away, jazzy rhodes and gently weepin' tiger. awesome fotd

Snappy delivery with timeless charm. Loose, patient, bitonal Slip. Typical of the era jerry starts splatting with midi pretty much immediately, in a characteristically iconic fashion. Passers by keep their heads stayed down. Franklins is alright

Seminal plateau of dewy but statuesque emotion. Weir fluttery weave and tone building, phil bombs. beautifully epic coda!!!
