Listen to the SBD of this for a great example of Bobby's subtle, beautiful playing

Listen to how Jerry begins the second chorus of his solo. Brilliant. Mickey drives this hard too. Heat builds up in the set leading to this.

Solid version of this tune. Less of a trainwreck when played later in the set it seems.

First great post-coma moment. Phil is unbelievable throughout. Jerry's in it to win it. Check the SBD.

It's alarming when they lose the form, especially in a simple tune like this. It is interesting when they try to put the train back on the tracks though - the end here sounds like pure, desperate survival.

Also a great Jerry solo, unfortunately cut short by Bobby

The jam after Saint is great, Bobby leading the way, Jerry burning. Nice, weird Phil-Bobby jam leading into drums

Jerry's solos are great on this. Check it out. Also love how he puts on the Mutron in the coda
