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

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

Keep coming back to this one. Love the way Jerry fades into some crazy innovative lines, so understated and cool. Verging on Santana-esque buzzsaw tones coming out of that guitar

What a version. The acoustic licks, the bongos, the tasteful rhythm accompaniments, everything. Cassidy is just better when it's acoustic. The riff in the chorus sounds so much better on an acoustic guitar.

Something about this show... Jerry's fuzzed-out solos are just so innovative in this one. The jam towards the end is nuts. Whenever they play with this progression the result is so filthy

The jam after William Tell is particularly good. There's a fleeting moment towards the beginning of that where the entire band is silent for a split second (7:27 on the DP26 version). Their brains are so psychically locked together in these jams it's incredible. Such innovative and clean soloing, these post- William Tell jams are some of their best work ever.
