Best Brent solo I've ever heard on this tune. Jerry follows up in style.

Great solo with brilliant Brent accents, and then burning coda. Check out what Jerry plays at 6:06. Listen to the Bob Morris aud.

How is this not on here? Dark and deep, dominated by Phil and Bobby.

It's alarming when they lose the form, especially in a simple tune like this. It is interesting when they try to put the train back on the tracks though - the end here sounds like pure, desperate survival.

Monster, outrageous solo by Jerry

Also a great Jerry solo, unfortunately cut short by Bobby
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance

Oakland Auditorium

The jam after Saint is great, Bobby leading the way, Jerry burning. Nice, weird Phil-Bobby jam leading into drums

Jerry's solos are great on this. Check it out. Also love how he puts on the Mutron in the coda
