Curious this isn't on here yet. One of Jerry's best solos ever. Notes disappear into nothing, then the next one digs and bites. Remarkable feeling.

You know a great version of this tune by the first four or five notes of Jerry's solo and this doesn't disappoint. Phil supports beautifully.

Jerry's feeling it. Beautiful solo, intense jam with searching chromatic phrases.

Great Jerry solo. Love it when he starts it slow with the long spaces and odd accents.

Great version. Jerry's on fire in this whole set.

Heavy, melancholy version, Jerry's voice especially. He really nails sweet lies and the crowd goes wild.

That phrase that begins the second go-round in the solo, where it almost sounds distorted and then ends on a single, sharp note that just falls dead on the spot. Beautiful

Jerry uses the tremor and brokenness of his voice to beautiful effect
