Nice version in the middle of a huge Set II. Whole set is worth a listen!

This wasn't on here? Jerry's tone is dialed in, and it's infused with the spirit of the opening "Stranger"

This was worth it for the 2 minutes listed as "tuning" on the AUD I've been pitching elsewhere, but was less tuning and more a 2 minutes slow exploratory introduction to a "Help > Slip > Frank" of beauty.
