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.

Keith ... my goodness! Those solitary notes . . . he's plucking at my heartstrings! Sooooo good!

20+ minutes of sonic, rhythmic BLISS overflowing with grooves absolutely worthy of your undivided attention
Stella Blue

The Palladium

Maybe not the best (well, ok, most assuredly not *the best*), but the PASSION is indeed there. Oh, man, Jerry! I freakin' love how he delivers this song, time after time.

The Palladium

While the structure of NFA might indeed fade away, the intensity never does! And , yeah, subtle beautiful segue into Stella.

Such patience. Mellow and slinky. Absolute gooey goodness.
