Remarkable solo, down to the last note.

Notable because of what Bobby and Jerry play at the end of the jam. Fast forward to it if you need to.

Great version. Jerry plays angry, always a good sign. Check out his first solo. Also, Brent's mumbly jumbly solo is not too bad here.

Brilliant interplay between guitars. Convincing vox by Bobby.

You can hear Brent listen. Also love when Jerry switches to fingerpicking in the solo.

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.
