The music sounds like something you'd hear being played at a carnival.

It starts off slow, then the booogie kicks in and this one sprouts its wings and soars.

Love Bob tossing in that "Just like wine" line.

More than a minute into it, after Phil gives The Other One call, Jerry and Brent still mess around with Spanish Jam a little more. Very cool grouping to listen to. They follow this up with Morning Dew -> Sugar Mag.

I had listened to 4 of them in a row from '91 and knew one of them was without him - I just didn't remember the right show!

Phil is stuck somewhere and on his way, so while they wait for him, Bob and Jerry play a few acoustic tunes. It sounds like they had been rehearsing this, because they are too on it to just be fooling around with something.
