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.

The first line of Jerry's solo, with the spaces and big intervals, is brilliant.

This goes into a very weird place that almost doesn't sound like the Dead, followed by one of the best pre-drums Bobby jams I've heard.

Jerry was killing this tune in 82.

Jerry chases down some very interesting themes starting at around 4:30
