Curious this isn't on here yet. One of Jerry's best solos ever. Notes disappear into nothing, then the next one digs and bites. Remarkable feeling.

Compton Terrace Amphitheatre

You know a great version of this tune by the first four or five notes of Jerry's solo and this doesn't disappoint. Phil supports beautifully.

Jerry's feeling it. Beautiful solo, intense jam with searching chromatic phrases.

Great Jerry solo. Love it when he starts it slow with the long spaces and odd accents.

Should be higher, like the band was this night. Monster version. Phil amazing. Love the theme Jerry gets into in the last Fire solo.

I love this long, leisurely version where you can really hear the singing and Keith. Also love the meandering jam after it into St. Stephen.

I love it when Jerry takes such an awesome solo that he can't sing the first part of the next verse. Raucous, fantastic version

Great version. The jam tells the story right.
