Short but sweet, instrumental break is lightning in a bottle.

Stand out solo at the end - Jerry doesn't pull off every lick, but it's still pretty good

Best version. Sweet vox with more interesting playing than Spectrum. Not quite as clean as the beautiful Keith solo in that one, but more inventive playing all around. More of a dialogue between instruments. Harmonies aren't as precise but there's more emotion.

Halfway through and completely shocked this isn’t higher.

Crazily underrated. Try focusing on Weir a little (kind of quiet and to the left). He’s having a night.

This may be it. Had to stop what I was doing to listen more than once.

Beautiful one here. Makes me question my post-hiatus preference.
