Jerry's voice is shot, but his tone is DIALED.

Technically Phil & Friends, but this is a nice (only?) acoustic version. Link: https://archive.org/details/1994-09-24.paf.sbd.zelner-vernon

Incredible version on its own, and for the transition to "Franklin's."

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium
