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

Though there are many GSETs with St. Steven quotes, this is the only one I know with a full-bore jam of the theme. Kick-ass version!

Agree for sure...Keith has some seriously hot licks here and is really throwing his weight around!!

Another amazing version in a run of outstanding Playin's. Jer and Phil are dominating!
