Jerry gets into some very unusual, far-out shit during this jam.

Jerry does everything in this Rider, especially in his final solo.

Awesome version. Listen to Jerry from the start and especially his solo (and Phil). This spring tour comes to life right 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
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

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
