The feedback returns! Jerry gets a bunch of pinch harmonics in on the lead tho

Quite a trip nice humming underneath everything starts so soft everything is chill then Jerry hits the first solo hard and quick. Second one really heats and Phil is booming it gets pretty psychedelic. The 3rd one wastes no time getting to that downhill rush, they're swinging. For awhile It's pure China cat rider blissed out transition. rider has a cut on mine. Not to worry it's all good,apparently no one else likes this but me anyway haha

It's about this one guy tripping his mind out and yelling all kinds of great things. The crowd vibe is fun here, reminds you how anything goes with the dead
