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.

Love this one! Some unique jams including a raucous tiger peak. Jerry is particularly inspired.

Any doubters of what PITB was capable of post-hiatus (and trust me, I used to be one of them) need to hear this immediately. The incredibly jazzy improv and telepathic interplay in this version are just magical. The reprise flows and builds fantastically to a mini tiger climax, riding the main ten theme to perfection. An A+ classic version!

One of the best versions of the year, very cool jams + a nice little Phil solo at the end.

The 6+ minute jam on at the end (after they space out for a while) is awesome and very unique as far as Playin's go. Gets into some serious "type 2" territory, to use a little Phish lingo.

The jamming on the first half is especially intense. One of the very best of any year.
