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.

Ramble On Rose

Instrumental jam hitting some sweet peaks.

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

Madison Square Garden

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.

Solid vocals and a sweet instrumental jam.

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