Not normally a big fan of this song, but Bruce Hornsby on accordion adds a lot of welcome texture to the mix

Pig's harmonica playing and singing is great, and the rest of the band sounds just as good.

Brent is all over this one, and makes it a standout from a very good show.

Keith is going nuts and the drummers have a swing in their shoes. FANTASTIC version that needs some love.

A PERFECT early version, and a cornerstone of the new St. Louis box.

A FEROCIOUS version - this should have WAY more votes.

Vince's organ is really what makes this one for me. Great playing by him!

INCREDIBLE! This one is the cream of the crop and easily the best late-era version.
