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.

Bobby has a very good idea singing Wang Dang Doodle over this.

Agree with iknowyourider. The amount of empty space early in this DS is frightening and beautiful. Also love what Phil plays at 22:46.

One of my fave tapes from way back when. So many great moments from Jerry and Phil, especially in the transition and during Fire.

Jerry is really paying attention to this. Great emotion and inspiration vocally and in the solo.
