So soulful. One of the best Wharf Rats Jerry has ever sung. All around perfect version, coming out of one sick jam.

This gets out of control fairly quickly, when jerry takes his solo to the next level. A seriously rocking version.

Holy shit is this a smoker or what. Too bad they end it 5 minutes in, this version was fucking cooking.

Wicked dark star<dew, no question this is one of the best versions of the year. The range of sound is incredible They play as soft and as loud as they can and balance the song perfectly providing an absolutely perfect final crescendo.

IMHO the song can't get much better then how they played it on this night. Whole show presents the band in top form and this rat is right up there with the truckin' as the highlights from the performance.
