Punchy with some heat. Pigs tone on the pipe organ(?) or electric piano makes this special too. Source:CM

Bob's slide work is CLEAN and on point and Jerry is in a frisky mood this night. Brent's B3 is hummin' - this version peels paint.

So in hearing this first solo I am like wow - Jerry's going full on distorted/ faded trumpet in an SF fog and then on the outro he delivers the smoothest prettiest trumpet solo I think I 've ever heard. Yeah the outro sends it over the top for me.
