One of my favorite EPs. Can't believe it's not on here yet. Jam is fantastic, with Phil leading the way. Huge ideas and imagination.

Great jam covering a lot of ground, Phil pushing and pulling patiently, Jerry attacking.

Jerry's last solo is outrageous and the drummers respond

Jam is exceptional. Love Bobby and Keith's chords jabbing and punctuating Jerry's lead

Intense, dramatic version with great singing from Jerry and Donna, great Weir guitar. Love the silence before the solo

This is the moment Jerry actually emerges from his coma.

Rousing version, Jerry and Brent on fire

Great version with an exceptional Jerry solo. Listen to him begin the second chorus
Bird Song

Madison Square Garden

Brilliant long jam, from crashing to quiet. Listen to Brent and Jerry.
When I Paint My Masterpiece

This version really creeps up on you. Phil and the drummers are locked in. Then you hear how into it Jerry is, and how well Bobby is singing. Then it's over.
