Fun and thunderous, this version has some great grooves.

Clean and confident reading with lots of personality from Phil and Vince.

Jerry fucking SHREDS this one. Who cares if its a bumpy ride on the vocals?

I don't get why this isn't a famous version. The main song portion is rendered beautifully, and the jam that follows is sublime. Phil's solo is far more melodic and graceful than usual, and the deep end of the jam is a very enjoyable space I can see myself returning to often. Hopefully the Dave's bonus disc rescues this one from obscurity.

I like this one WAY more than the versions that come out of Bertha. Some genuine improv on the jam in this one, very heady.

What jam into Good Lovin? They pretty much just stop playing mid-jam. Lovely version up until that point, but that absolute freeze-up keeps me from giving it a vote.

Stunning version.
