Worthy, discursive version from an amazing month.

Jerry just attacks this one (vocally too) right from the outset. I love summer '89.

As focused and energetic as the rest of the show, Jerry plays with the phrasing of his solos without missing a beat.

Another noteworthy '77 version. Listen for Jerry's melodic lines over Bob and Donna's vocal coda.

Jerry's playing is really hot by the end of this extended jam. Recommended.

Let It Grow jam builds to a wicked Caution-like inferno. Ridiculously good.

Relentless, exploratory, and smokin’ hot.

Today I learned that, at double speed, NFA can sound like the insanely jammed-out Minglewood that never was. Check out this version to hear what I mean. Brilliant show all around, and the AUD is pretty excellent!
