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"

I was thrilled to see a new Hunter Seamons matrix of this, since the second set is essentially what I'd have them play if I were to write one. This is, to my ears, the only transition that isn't horribly mangled. Jerry moves to the major towards the end of Space, then sets up groove for NFA.

Yeah, this is great stuff. I thought the first set (till this) was the weakest of this three-show run, but everything from "Queen Jane" on resonated with me.

Holy s, that was a fantastic jam and very unique! Top shelf band improv here. I wish the box set hadn't broken these into two tracks!

I didn't care for the short and bumpy >, but everything on both sides was superior. Some nice performances from Bobby especially here!
