Jerry's solo is poetry. Delicate, mischievous, deep. One of many highlights from Dicks 10

I've checked out dozens of versions of BEW to compare and none of them hold up to Jerry's solo here. Every time I hear this, I have to rewind to hear the solo 2-3 times. It is absolute perfection and sums up everything great about Jerry's playing. If you asked me what Jerry sounds like in 2 minutes or less, this is what I would play for you.

This is the one I keep coming back to. It is jerry at his most tender and poignant, and his solo is note for note perfect.

jawdropping, soul chilling solo from Jerry on this one. This is a solo you will have to rewind.
