Some crisp, bluesy guitar from Jerry and hot vocals from Bob.

Jerry is all over the place with the lyrics, but Brent is playing his butt off.

Jerry starts it off by flubbing the lyrics, but it's well played after that.

The jam before SSDD, Jerry is in the lead, and slowly but surely, Brent takes over and the spotlight is on him.

Fillmore East

Some nice harmonies and the mandolin fits in well.

For the most part, a very good version. Jerry plays some mean guitar. There is a spot where Jerry is supposed to be singing backup vocals, but leaves Brent to do it alone. Then there's the part where Brent is playing something you'd expect to hear during a boat chase scene on Miami Vice. Seriously out of place!

Bob has the vocal range and hits all the notes. The band does a solid job backing him up. Easily among the top 2 or 3 versions from the 90's.

Bob's voice is shot and he never should have attempted a song like this that demands such range and strain.
