Phil drives the first couple of verses, pushing hard against the band’s tempo. Slide Bobby.

poignant singing from Bobby, and the whole band pours it on during the solo break. Note the drummers especially. Top notch version.

Powerful version! [edit:] I think the first half of the DS gets super trippy, I like it. I dig the whole sequence, but the jam, of course.

The solo is one of my favorite Jerry moments from a month full of them. He's confident enough to attempt and land a solo that gets pretty far out at times.
