This is a great sleeper; a hidden gem. Bobby sings it so well, and is, like, on key and stuff! High energy taboot. Gotta check it out!!!

Ain't It Crazy (The Rub)

Fillmore East (Late Show)

This is a fun version and Pig is killin' it. Some great Jerry banter immediately after the tune ends... But that's not why I submitted it. Solid!

As much as I love the entire Fillmore run, I think this version surpasses those in execution and vocal performance. Jerry sounds great!

Also on Phil Zone. I've always loved this one. Solid in every aspect.
