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.

Agreed, this is a remarkable transition into Eyes. Listen to what Bobby plays.

moberg is right about the solo. What Jerry does in the last chorus is mind blowing. He just decides fuck it. Great transition and Fire too.
Dark Star

Shea's Theater

This is not a good Dark Star. They try something dissonant, it doesn't work, verse is a train wreck, and they're relieved to be playing NFA. No wonder it was the last one for almost 3 years.

It's late in the day but Jerry and Keith have some great interplay here.
