Worth a listen for the uniqueness of the jam out of China Cat. A really playful and jazzy take on the China Cat outro.

Play this one loud. This version is triumphant. Excellent energy and a cool little jam into drums.

Hot and Fiery version. Great opener to the Giants Stadium Box Set. Sounds great!

I wouldn't really call this version "peppy". Take a look at any version from '77 if you want peppy. I'd call this one "lethargic".
