What an ending jam. Jerry improvises astonishing structures with ease and fluency. The others are right there with him.

Jerry's solo is so articulate -- immaculately constructed. Some very fine stuff.

I love the space after the first verse vocals. Like proto-Sonic Youth. Very heady.

Nice long jam following William Tell. Phil is thunderous.

Very enjoyable '90s Playin' -- I was impressed! The whole band really is on throughout the whole thing.

I'd say Keith is the real star here. He just goes bonkers on this thing.
