Jerry's solo to close this one out is hard-driving and aggressive.

This particular version of this particular universe doesn't have a better one than this.

Well worth a listen. Sloppy and tight all at once.

Awesome version! There was a ton of good energy in the MSG on this night and here's the proof. Listen to Jerry tear it up at the end.

Awesome stuff!!! Keith has some fun with the synth and Jerry's outro solo is, as with all great EPs, awesome. And, as the gentleman said, kicks off an epic sequence.

Just tried to submit this one only to find out that it was already here. Played fast but Jerry's soloing digs into the time and can give the impression of slowing things down. Brent's playing conjures up a vaudevillian carnival sort of mood while still being very soothing. Great version.

Jerry was still getting better at executing this song at this time. Listen and see for yourself.
