Fantastic jam. Everyone looks alive. Bobby and Brent drive it.

One of the best I've ever heard. Jerry is on fire, Bobby sings great, and drummers are right there.

Jerry has to be feeling it for this tune to work and he's on fire here

Sneaky, searching solo is worth a listen.

Jerry is flying and his tone sounds amazing in this aud. Piles of ideas. And it's unusual to hear him play completely unaccompanied as he does into Wharf Rat

The chordal figure Jerry plays in the jam is unusual for him, in its character and for how long he repeats it. Hypnotizing

Great version. Jerry and Phil kill it in the last solo

The FOTM is devastating. Surprised this isn't higher

I love these shambolic versions where something gets fucked up and Jerry ends up soloing over the verse. In the coda he says fuck it in grand Jerry style. Also I want to say Keith's playing is baroque - and not in the musical sense. Bobby is also playing some awesome shit
