Jerry's chromatics liquified my face. Total acid-drenched mindmeld.

So thoughtful. It's got that haunting swagger.

The amp tubes are glowing white-hot and the Boys are not letting up. Face-meltingly hot.

The way they slip into the rumbling high-tempo mindmeld at the end of this one is particularly effortless. Jerry is a storyteller and the fuzzbox is his pen.

Wow, that final solo packs some serious creativity into a rather short time. Gorgeous pedal work. Underrated version of an underrated song.

Sounds like a pig snuck onstage and oinked into the microphone part way through the song... either that or the boys had an exceptionally strong batch

My god, the phrasing of those solos. Jerry is a supergenius. To be able to channel musical ideas so crystal-clear at such an insane pace... quite literally operating at a higher frequency. Blistering primal dangerous Dead.
