What a gorgeous slide solo from Jerry -- perfectly phrased!

Wow, one of the best closing jams I've yet heard in a Jed!

Very banjo-like solo from Jerry. Cool version with some very spacious playing from Jerry during SSDD.

Nassau Coliseum

Just hearing this for the first time -- WOW! Fast and energetic, sure, but it's also heavier than most Eyes...this one has some bite!
