The band tries to kill the pre-SSDD jam, but Jerry is having no part of it and he plays on.

Jerry nails the "throw me in the jailhouse" part, spot on.

The instrumental jam is fluid, floating along like a butterfly. Jazzy, it seems like it's a brother of the jams towards the end of Estimated. Jerry flows into MIDI flute - which works very well - back into guitar-mode. The re-entrry jam is focused, with purpose, as it buidls and lands back home. Jerry's voice is in good shape. Beautiful.

Love the way they work the fiddle into the instrumental jam, along with Jerry and Bruce.
