Stupidly heavy, shades of early heavy metal on this one. Incredible controlled chaos that explores so much. A very tight version.

Phil joyously expresses himself on this. A gun shot is heard on this one signaling a jam, and the William Tell Bridge is really well played. Excellent

Sandwiched between Truckin’ and Eyes, this jam takes me to checkerboard floors and red curtains. Deserves its own place. Unique Jerry lines.

I adore any version of this tune. This one is particularly joyful and full of life.

Bouncy as it is lysergic. Unique phrasing from Jerry. Everybody’s vocals are on. The Rider is some pure country fried jamming if I’ve ever heard it.

This is pretty bonkers not gonna lie, stellar version that cools you off after that deep and dark The Other One while still making you feel like you’re walking the tightrope. Love love love this version and how light yet heavy it can be. Don’t wanna be that guy but don’t listen to Nog. Let your ears decide! Love to all

Really should be higher, I’m not even that much of an estimated fan but this version is really heartfelt, great energy here!

Yeah this is it, check it out folks you won’t regret it. I’ll let the music speak for itself.

Brent really gives new life to the band and this performance is a perfect example of this. One of my personal non 77 performances of this tune. Stellar keyboard playing that’s something out of a sci fi sequence and then you have Jerry turning into a intergalactic cyborg with incredible dance chops. Great dancin!
