Jerry is a bit subdued BUT the solo may be the best ever.

Really as good as anything. Maybe not as many fireworks as some of the top rated versions, but wonderfully played

Denver Coliseum

Absolutely one of the most amazingly gorgeous renditions of this they ever did; 12 votes is a joke (in your town)
