Rare, rootsy and spare reading. The one in '79 when Jer's mic blew had more torque.

Dare I say the best CR&S you've never heard before?! Keith! So very fine and would like to hear what others think. PS. I love every era of this tune so note to the wise... If you got one that you think is a sleeper please respond with it. Have a Merry Jerry Christmas and Happy New Weir :)

Phil is all animated during this - Jerry looks zonked out while singing at one point but they slam it into GEAR following the 1st jam - the windmilling is hysterical and the stick toss is gold medal worthy. Check the vid and see they were clearly having a fun - messy version but worthy of a bump for the laughs. Tks for tip well worth watching.

Tight full sound with DJ in check and Bobby slide is tasteful.
