So why this song? The journey? Well it's right here in spades. Aces!

Phildown St. opener in the ginormo dome at Syrabuse. Phil makes this one groovy.

Gold Here. SUBLIME - this is where all the soft touches come together. Bob is especially deft with the underlying patterns. Phil is perfect.

Uptempo and ballsy version here.

I'm a sucker for China Dolls - this one has Jerry delivering very dreamy vocals on this one.

I hear you both! Haha and you’re right Jerry shreds so fucking hard it’s like “wahh?” then wakes up and goes further HAM. Don’t overlook Phil doing his God of Thunder bit either he rattles some skulls here. Not the greatest sources on the board but check the Miller - he’s always tasteful.

Grendel, I saw you originally posted that 10/22Syracuse Straw - check this one out - they take a similarly huge bite out of this version and spit it out. Trust me it does not disappoint! PS. I was in HS and went to that Syracuse show drove up from PA - what a freakin' trip we had.

Agreed Phig - went back to listen to this and yeah it's killer with multiple sections of space jammieness!

Whatever they were trying to work out in the CC>IKYR comes together in spades right here for me.

This is the weirdest version of both tunes I have heard to date. Usually a fan of different arrangements however temporary they might last. I find a thread of strong discordance throughout the CC that resolves finally at the Feelin Groovy break. I love Feelin Groovy breaks and this one is welcome after hearing the gang sound as though they are playing different songs and so when they land on a melody. It's cool to hear Jerry literally all over the place with ideas but to me Bob and Keith in particular fail to give his solos a platform to build from. Phil is nonexistent to my ears until Jerry's headlight verse and the fuzzbomb drop at the end of the Rider. The Rider is bizarre and sounds like they are playing from across a huge field removed from everything and everyone... voices are clear yet instruments fade in and out the fog. Interesting, different and unique but not my particular bag. While I do appreciate others take on how this gets them going shown by all the comments above - I'm just from a different planet on this one. .
