Slinky and smooth. Jerry and Brent tear it. Great ‘84 version.

San Jose Civic Auditorium

Board mix issues aside, this is a tight August ‘72 rendition where everyone is in the pocket.

A nice little gem where the band is locked in and Jerry is in the zone. The final jam really shines

Sick version, underrated
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication

Always a hard sequence to really nail, but they destroy it on this one. Definitely worth checking out.

Might be one of the best solos Jerry ever performed. Immaculate and understated.
