Fierce yet loose. Lots of fun is being had and it's infectious.

A little extra mustard on this one.

Uniquely satisfying. Bob and Keith lock into a mind-meld that leads Jerry in some interesting directions.

Unique, trippy energy on the intro. Mellow vibes throughout.

Tight, inspired, and full of ideas. A stand-out version from a stand-out show.

I'm not hearing it. Very cool Space, but no Spanish Jam here

Just because it's not epic in length doesn't mean it isn't super heavy and full of great ideas. Lovely version.

Rheinhalle

There are too many versions I like better to give this one an upvote, but Keith's piano fills on this version are worthy of mention.

Jerry does some very cool chordal jamming in the transition jam that struck me as fairly unique.

I really love this brief window when Keith and Pig are both playing actively. It's not the most epic version, but it does have fantastic vocals and a rich group sound on the instrumental portion.
