There's an Eleven tease in the middle of the Other One tease at the end of this Space.

Huge version. Weird that it's not on here. Jerry is brilliant from the first note of the intro. Listen to him starting at 9:05. Brent great too.

Jerry really connects the dots in the solo. The first few phrases in particular are sublime.

Brooding, hypnotizing version. Beautiful playing by Jerry and Brent, and brilliant vocal with unexpected touches.

Great interplay between Jerry and Brent

Bombs is right. Worth listening to for what Phil does to the jam.

Deer Creek Music Center

Agree with Johnny that Jerry plays a great solo here. He takes a very unusual approach, focuses hard, and breaks new ground.

Love the slow arrangement of this tune. The second phrase in Jerry's first solo (what other commenters are identifying as Crazy Fingerish) is monumental and heartbreaking.

Pre-break versions are so much better than the lumbering, dreary 90s ones. Phil and Billy sound so good here, and Jerry's solo is spacy and loose.
