This is another later day catsh john, and it shreds. Not that slow 70s catfish john, but a totally sweeping jamming catfish john. Way sweet.

This version was waaay to spacy. I played it loud with people around and was embarrassed because it sounded like crashy noise! I like 10-25-69 much much better. A little spacy/random noise is great, but the whole song? Not sure how this one made it to #1 because there are many much better versions.

How is this one not ranked higher?!? Silky and punctual, in the zone, great solos, like duh!

This version is overplayed.... Its literally just OK. Check out JGB 11-23-91 for an example of an out of this world version.
