Exactly how this song should be - rip snorting fast and balls out - unreal take here.

Tempo is perfect for Jer's deft touch - close to perfect with everyone contributing thoughtfully. Jer's voice is breaking by the end.

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.
