One of my favorite EPs. Can't believe it's not on here yet. Jam is fantastic, with Phil leading the way. Huge ideas and imagination.

Great jam covering a lot of ground, Phil pushing and pulling patiently, Jerry attacking.

Jerry's last solo is outrageous and the drummers respond

Jam is exceptional. Love Bobby and Keith's chords jabbing and punctuating Jerry's lead

Intense, dramatic version with great singing from Jerry and Donna, great Weir guitar. Love the silence before the solo

Love the giant, looping flurries of notes Jerry plays at the beginning and in the end jam.

Fantastic solo. Cutting, percussive, angry. The riff he plays at the beginning of the second chorus is a monster. Then it's quieter, melodic, settling in triplets until, big surprise, Jerry remembers the words to the Crazy Otto verse.

Yeah the last jam is crazy, crazy, crazy great. What Phil and Bobby are doing, wow.

Jerry comes out swinging right away in the jam. It's short but beautiful, with structure and balance like a composition
