Fire version from a fire show -- should be MUCH higher, as with most songs from this great show

Excellent solo from Jerry - maybe the tightest I've heard. Only one time through the changes though before they extended it.

This Jerry solo featured in this video -- very cool stuff! -- especially for fellow jazz musicians out there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Sb0FGRCQhA minute 2:20 or so
