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.

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

Psychedelic blues explosion - a real different let's get weird take. Isn't this the Matrix show?

Yeah I like that jam too - sounds Allmanesque to me if slowed down a smidge - Jer just rips it up for a good 4mins.

Love this version and so different from all others run the NFA through for the warm up to get the complete flavor profile for these two - Jer's got his tone dialed in and both should surprise you. 0-ppppppppppppppppp89 cat just walked across the keys....

Darkstar67 sent me here and I agree this one is nice and chewy!

Nicely mental later version tripped out Weir vocals and sounds like Brent was playing asteroids during the set break - so he broke out the effects here plus the feedback is a strong bonus.
