This one's solid with a sweet outro... nobody crowds anyone on this one.

Upstate Funk Jerry breaks out the distorto in the middle jam. Brent goes full Herbie H. at the end! Dank slow jamz.

Flat out great rendition - with playful finish that will make you smile.

Lovely and delicate with Brent laying some sweet foundation and Weir's in check for Jer to weave some magic on this one.

Hey Grendel - I gotta question for you check out the Ventura 7/14/85 NFA sometime and at 2:08 Bobby starts it and Jer and Brent jump on it. This riff has driven me crazy - it's short but distinct - I think it's old from the 50's or early 60's (this whole version is stellar for mid 80's btw). I am asking you since I think we both "hear" things but then as my wife has told me maybe I am just nuts.

Dig the sentiment but can't get on this one maybe will let it lie and come back to it... while the Exit Jam > Spanish jam segment is killer. I wanna know if anyone knows of one like 11/22/72 my favorite by a long shot.

One of those versions where the whole band reaches into the thermals .... as CGarces notes the first jam is a beaut.
