So glad this tune made the cut for acoustic rotation and new release is fantastic. Great tension build in the jam

Super crisp song portion and tension/release jam segment. Very worthy

Jerry is crazy nimble in this. Fresh from a 30 days of dead release - a choice cut

I'll double comment till the lights go out... Regardless of era or any other markers or metrics, this one thrills like few, if any, others. The peaks are glorious glimpses of the beyond, the valleys are soulful renderings of agony - this version is the absolute purpose of this song.

Throwing HAYMAKERS. Bobby bringing chaw on vocals, Jerry is red hot on leads, Lesh and devils killing the low end, Brent with passionate fills. This one is FIRE. Bobby screaming the refrain = goosebumps

Oh man, this one is passionate. Very soulful licks from Jerry

Brent goes NUTS in this. Chunky playing, combining with Jerry's triumphant leads, and Bobby's powerful rhythmic chords
