Both Jerry solos are absolutely transcendental. Probably my new favorite version of the year.

Top notch energetic and jazzy jam out of this version, with a cool little noodle/space section before they dissolve into drums.

Fantastic play by Jerry; the post verse jamming especially soars with emotion and intensity.

WOW!!! You're not kidding. Next to 9/2/78 and 11/30/80, this Scar>Fire has one of the all time best, super smooth, out-of-this -world transitions I've ever heard. And the Fire ROCKS! Nice call, man!!

Great version with a nice Phil solo and lots of peaks and valleys. Psychedelic rock at its best.

A very beautiful and patient Eyes, unique in the fact that it's not speed-laced like most '80s versions. Must hear material from a great show.
