One of the tightest versions I have ever heard. I would place this towards the top. Jerry is in the zone, this really is a killer version. No lies.

They really bring the hammer down on this one. Tight and hot version, the drummers especially lead the breakdown into the witchita line perfectly

High energy Drums < Jam. The drums are awesome with some fantastic energy, but the real highlight is this unbelievable jam following the drums.

Hot as can be, this song might be harder to jam on then others, but nevertheless the quick jams are energetic, and this one certainly does not disappoint.
