The band is tight and Jerry doesn't miss a beat. Seems like he's surfing with his guitar lines.

I think Jerry's working ideas out in new places in the fretboard during the "China" solo, and Brent is contributing some interesting colors.

Nice slow shuffle, and Jerry's playing is quite melodic. But he brings the heat at the end (with some help from Keith).

Some nice playing from Jerry in the solos and transition.

Hot damn. Listen to the AUD so you can hear the crowd eating it up. The band peaks multiple times.

I love his tone from this period on (using more/different echo/chorus effects? Little help here?). And sweet accompaniment all riffs at the end, nice spot!

Outstanding version. Won't be surprised when this moves higher up the list.

The guitar playing is unreal, and don't let it overshadow an emotive performance of the ballad portion of the song.
