First Dire Wolf of the Vince era - and the playing kills as always. Just a line is butchered but a great rendition of this campfire song regardless

Vince only - and he does quite a fine job. Jerry helps pack a punch as always

Nice first set choice - Jerry flubs some lyrics but the playing is great. Note that this is a Vince only '91 show and he kills

Really punchy version. The Oade brothers recording has everyone beautifully in the mix. One of my favorite AUD's.

Any version after '72 with a Sweet Suzy deserves an immediate upvote - really builds both playing and vocally

My dog literally perked its head and ears up when it heard the final solo when I was playing the vinyl release. Totally heady + Keith is the man!

That roar during "Just like New York City" is just awesome - fantastic version.
