This one is stretched out. Solid Jerry shredding throughout.

Love the way this version crashes into drums. Nice way to end a 6 song pre-drums sequence.

Jerry mumbles threw the lyrics but the jam is hot!

Nice pace and energy to this version. Great Jerry and Brent solos too.

I love the way they melt into it from PITB.

I never really pay attention to this song but this one caught my ear. Bob's on point and I really like Jerry's tone and solo.

This is a great version. Bob's vocals are on point, great audience participation during the hounds begin to howl part, Jerry shreds. You can hear how palpable the energy is.

This one bubbles nicely before a strong psychedelic peak that simmers down into a sultry and jazzy refrain then boils back up to another peak then finds its way to a phenomenal reprise.

This version starts off tentative and Bob forgets most of the lyrics. You're thinking "Yeesh, this version is going to be a mess." Then the midsection jam starts. Great recovery but this version still lacks the steller Jerry peaks that the top notch versions have.
