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.

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.

Weird raggedy version with some amazing Jerry moments. Also love the guy who yells when Phil comes in on the intro.

Jerry's playing in the jam is fantastic.

Should be higher. I don't think I've heard a better version. Phil is insane.

Amazing version. The best 70s versions have an airy, elastic quality, with Jerry sounding like a shower of sparks. His solo and playing in the jam are awesome.

I love what Jerry plays from 9:10-9:20
