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!

Definitely an epic jam with a sick-ass Truckin'. Underrated show too.

One of my favorite versions ever. It's so good, I don't even mind the turkey gobble sounding tape "effects".

WOW!! Effing siiiick buildup in this jam!!!! A must hear. Segues into a sweet NBFBM with some cool Other One-ish type riffs/teases too.
