Bruce makes this version. Great interplay between him and Jerry and a chargin', tight version overall. Amazing show.

Galloping, tight version. Good interplay from everyone involved. One of thew few tunes Keith really came alive during his last two years with the band

I'm not a big fan of this song but this is a very good version (and it's lightyears better than "Samba in the Rain"). I really love these Memphis shows. The boys threw down and made up for the 20+ years they hadn't been there.

Very patient, delicate version.

Pig's versions are generally the best, but you gotta give it to Bobby for at least this one. He absolutely roars it and Jerry's guitar work is fuckin' sexy.

Maybe the timing is off, maybe it's not a perfect version...but it's fucking "Ripple." I wish they kept this in rotation until 1995. Would've been great in the "Attics" / "Brokedown" spots.

Great version of maybe their most perfect song.
