A-MAZING, tight as a f'ing drum version with Garica on his absoulte A-GAME. Totally epic, earth-scorching leads!!! MUST HEAR!!!!!

Really long, jazzier version that goes in a lot of directions- some fantastic interplay. Jerry hangs on the main riff at the end forever!

I agree this smokes 6/21/80...definitely the VERY BEST '80s rendition I have heard. Jerry is totally unstoppable, each instrumental break hits a higher peak than the last.

This Other One is legend. Just a brutal psychedelic attack from start to finish....one of the very best ever!
