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.
