Not going to dethrone Veneta by any means but still a worthwhile spacey, concise, chilled out rendition. Some nice melodic chord jamming from Garcia.

Was surprised to see this wasn't already here. Phenomenal solo from Jerry and some beautiful cascading keys courtesy of Keith

Doesn't get much better than this. This one's got peaks and valleys as opposed to a lot of other NFAs that are just all peak. Listen to Jerry strum; it's severely understated how difficult it is to strum full chords like that cleanly on guitar.

Hard to argue with this one.

Keith's keys are just booming; love the ascending/descending tension-building licks he plays. If I had to describe this with one word I'd call it "bombastic." Very loud, a lot of low end with Jerry adding that Wolf sparkle on top. Jerry's close encounters jam should be broadcast on loop 24/7 from every satellite in space. Might attract some visitors.
