An extremely sensitive improv by Jerry, and wonderful how the crew gave him room to explore. This *may* be one of the best examples of Jerry's abilities I've heard. His vocals aren't half-bad either ;o)
China Doll harbinger
Listen for the China Doll melody fragment Phil plays during the Space before Wharf Rat. Of course, the tune is resurrected a week later in Atlanta. Nice...
Jerry noodling at it's finest.
Incredible. Could have taken it anywhere.
Then a heartfelt Wharf Rat. And a Brokedown encore.
Cheers
