Probably a "misdated" Dew, but no matter; this early version is as emotive as it gets

I usually prefer the China>Rider combo but this is a must hear version; Jerry really pours on the HEAT between the verses!!

Unbelievable Playin' on this Playin', they fly thru at least a hundred different changes at supersonic speed. Billy is absolutely on Fire!!!

A very strong version...very nice jams. Jerry breaks a string towards the end allowing Keith to step up a bit :)
