One of the marks of a great jack Straw is when jerry does those guitar fills around Bob's vocals. Jerry nails that here.

I find this song and this version of this song very powerful
Weather Report Suite
May 19, 1974
Portland Memorial Coliseum

Weir's vocals are impressive and Ernie5 is right about Keith's hypnotic keys. They were almost always flat on the background vox for Prelude/Part 1, but they nail a lot of of it here. Let It Grow is fantastic. Garcia's playing is inspirational and sublime

Everyone is great on this one, from Keith with the kool keys, Jerry singing and wahing and sliding, Phil with the fat notes -- and the backup vocals are tasteful.
