"Compliments" by the way was really just a fan nickname: it was officially titled Garcia, same as the first one.astroman99 wrote:One of my favorites is the solo from " Turn On The Bright Lights" from his first solo studio album with Butterflies(?).Awesome solo.

mttourpro wrote:I have to wonder if my favorite Jerry studio solo is even Jerry, in that it's the most sick screaming guitar playing in the middle of Terrapin--the part that's really fast picking---it could be a synth or something else but I've always liked to believe it was Jerry playing his ass off.See the previous post.
That would be the Flyer part I believe.

Great album Garcia and Kreutzmann are on a few stand out tunes including Sweet Melinda, along with Kahn and Grisman.CountryMile Cadillac wrote:His overall context and feel,along with Billy on Sweet Melinda is too good.I'm scratching my head here. What is Sweet Melinda?
