ambitious, abstract, and involved in the multi-dimensional trappings. Plenty of curiosity but tethered to that amazing 2nd-set logic

YouTube version, Egypt insanity, Jerry is like a shredding pigtailed little banshee sent from Robert Johnson's road to do some stuff in Egypt. The whole band is blasted and the gig sounds that way. in the best way possible. Also notable for Keith's lit hash pipe on his Yamaha Stage piano. Jerry fans, which everyone on this site is, need to watch this shit

one of their most satisfying songs for a damn good reason, it sums up everything they're about both metaphorically with the lyrics and practically in what it allows them to do, ESPECIALLY 73-74. This is how they win. Notable for the D major hardcore "Main Ten" at the conclusion. Big fat stinkin' playing in the muthafuckin' band that will please a head looking to munch on sume jazz.
