Awesome version. Listen to Jerry from the start and especially his solo (and Phil). This spring tour comes to life right here.

If you like your Altheas angry, bitter, and cutting, as opposed to mellow, this is the one for you. I love them all and this one is amazing. Surprised it's not higher.

Burning version. Jerry's last solo is fantastic. Listen to the crowd lose their minds when he goes full Chuck Berry in his last chorus.
Franklin's Tower

Milwaukee Auditorium

Jerry tries some very unique approaches during the solos and builds up lots of drama

The way Jerry slowly turns up the heat in the last solo is amazing. You don't know what's happening until it's over.

Beautiful version. Lots of subtlety and emotion in Jerry's vocal. He kills it in the solo and his lick before the repeated chorus at the end cuts like a knife.
