Sneaky version with great playing by Keith and Jerry. Love what Jerry plays at the end of the jam.

I know they should have played Dark Star in Egypt. But this is a fantastic EP. Dynamic, dramatic, Jerry on fire.

Huge, 18-minute version with great dynamics, deep vocals. Bobby's slide playing and interplay with Jerry are great.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

This is the moment Jerry actually emerges from his coma.
Little Red Rooster

Oakland Coliseum Arena

Rousing version, Jerry and Brent on fire
Bertha

Oakland Coliseum Arena

Great version with an exceptional Jerry solo. Listen to him begin the second chorus
Bird Song
Sept. 18, 1987
Madison Square Garden

Brilliant long jam, from crashing to quiet. Listen to Brent and Jerry.
When I Paint My Masterpiece
Sept. 18, 1987
Madison Square Garden

This version really creeps up on you. Phil and the drummers are locked in. Then you hear how into it Jerry is, and how well Bobby is singing. Then it's over.
