The interplay between Jerry and Bruce during the longer jam is so sweet.

Unfortunately, the song cuts off towards the end, when Jerry's taking another instrumental jam. What's here is really good, considering it's the first time they played it.

Focused, uptempo version. Phil is thumping the whole way and - as usual - Bruce is elevating the music to a higher level.

At times, Brent is putting in some good work. Jerry hits a nice peak in the instrumental break.

A version decidedly lacking in passion, creativity, intensity and originality. Here it is - a version ready to take on all comers to decide what the 250 worst versions of this song are. All we need to do is get every version up here, roll up our sleeves and get to work.

Jerry does sound good, with that bouncy upbeat guitar work, but the sound of Brent's keyboard work is annoying.
