A notably speedy version. "Bobby your rushin'!" Great solo by Jerry though

Love the way this version builds and peaks.

This version is ho-hum. Doesn't peak like the good versions do. The segue into Truckin' isn't very graceful either.
Comes A Time

The Palladium

Love the way each note lingers throughout the solo. Very passionate and soulful. Makes you wish it never ends.

Jerry's fingers are flying and Brent is laying it down. This version deserves to be way higher.

Meadowlands Arena

They pull it together at the end for sure, but the beginning of this version is a sloppy mess.
