Jerry slays this laid-back (yet still kickin') version. Sweet stuff here, into a strong Big River.

Just a blistering drum beat to propel this one! Good stuff!

Are there better versions out there? Undoubtedly! But this is still worthy of an entry. Some nice, tinkling piano.

As has been said already, the word that really jumps out at me when listening to this version is CRISP. It's just phenomenal. And that transition into Wharf Rat. My god, that's the stuff dreams are made of.

Jerry's on fire & Keith may never have sounded better.

I feel like this starts out with serious Morning Dew undertones. Great, straight-forward Playin' (even if it doesn't have Donna).

@FreedomHaul: "Jerry is a fountain of melody in this." -- I could not possibly say it better than this. This is a chef's kiss of a comment.
