Love how Jerry starts his first solo. The rest is great too. His playing is easy and free.

Intense dynamics and drama. Phil and Jerry are brilliant.

Jerry sounds tired and pained here, which of course is perfect. For some reason he usually doesn't nail the solo in this tune but he does here.

Jerry is flying and his tone sounds amazing in this aud. Piles of ideas. And it's unusual to hear him play completely unaccompanied as he does into Wharf Rat

The chordal figure Jerry plays in the jam is unusual for him, in its character and for how long he repeats it. Hypnotizing

Great version. Jerry and Phil kill it in the last solo

The FOTM is devastating. Surprised this isn't higher

I love these shambolic versions where something gets fucked up and Jerry ends up soloing over the verse. In the coda he says fuck it in grand Jerry style. Also I want to say Keith's playing is baroque - and not in the musical sense. Bobby is also playing some awesome shit
