Love how Jerry starts his first solo. The rest is great too. His playing is easy and free.

Intense dynamics and drama. Phil and Jerry are brilliant.

Jerry sounds tired and pained here, which of course is perfect. For some reason he usually doesn't nail the solo in this tune but he does here.

This outro jam sounds great on headphones and in your living room but it probably never sounded better than wafting over a sea of VW buses in a pre-show parking lot circa 1991.

Incredible Bird Song. Jerry is killing this jam. Reckoning version is great but they could have picked this one.

The middle solo and the singing after it are exceptional

I want what Jerry's having.

Agreed with Jort. Just listen to the first 5 notes of Jerry's solo. He came to play. Long, elaborate, lines. An edge to it. Matrix sounds awesome.
