Very crisp, smooth version. Crack open a cold one and tap your toes to this one.

Love this one. Spunky Jerry with a quirky, inventive solo and nice playing from Bruce as well.

As this show's biggest fan, I'm aghast I didn't post this lovely version. Jerry at his most charming. Bruce is in damn good form as well.

Absolutely gorgeous version. Has the majesty of something like "Terrapin" while maintaining the song's apocalyptic intensity.

Tight and crispy from an amazing show.

This version is incredible. The Egypt shows are incredibly uneven, but the Ollin -> Fire -> Aiko is absolutely fucking awesome.

I have to agree that Vince's synth sax sounds really jarring against Branford's much better playing on an actual friggin' saxophone. Shame, because the jam is otherwise absolute aces.

I've been on a kick with "LIG" lately....this one left me breathless.
