Pauley Pavilion

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).

Great vocal outro—listen to Brent! The jam is also several minutes of nasty funk.

Maybe they're arguing that if they *had* played it, it would have been the best? Maybe there's a mysterious "lost set" out there with an even longer Dark Star? "I heaad a clip of it once, mannnn, it was killer."
