Jer's voice is toast so he BURNS DOWN the lead on this instead! SMOKE!

It's like finding a $20.00 you hid from yourself ... Jer peels off some oh so sweet riffs love his tone on this. DG in check too.

This is one of those softly lilting ones and then they hit over the head with a HAMMER on the outro - Donna in tune 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....

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.
