Best Brent solo I've ever heard on this tune. Jerry follows up in style.

Great solo with brilliant Brent accents, and then burning coda. Check out what Jerry plays at 6:06. Listen to the Bob Morris aud.

How is this not on here? Dark and deep, dominated by Phil and Bobby.

This outro jam sounds great on headphones and in your living room but it probably never sounded better than wafting over a sea of VW buses in a pre-show parking lot circa 1991.

Incredible Bird Song. Jerry is killing this jam. Reckoning version is great but they could have picked this one.

The middle solo and the singing after it are exceptional

I want what Jerry's having.

Agreed with Jort. Just listen to the first 5 notes of Jerry's solo. He came to play. Long, elaborate, lines. An edge to it. Matrix sounds awesome.
