Latest Dave’s Version is solid. Slower than some versions but very bluesy and Pig is at his best

Interesting song and show. Not a good recording and not the best show but worth a listen. Honky Tonk Women? From NFA on, it sounds like the Dead.

I have voted for this and Giza and think they are correctly the top two. I heard both today and for me Giza edges this out for best. This one is peppier though, but the other one just has a better groove and I like Keith on it more than Brent here.

Rocks. Keith and the drums really drive this along for me. Nice mix on the last DaP with keys high in the mix. Everyone plays great.

Was just listening to DaP 41. Great show and this song is fun. I went and relistened to Buffalo right after the 41 version though and it is much better to my ears. Faster, longer and cleaner. This is a good start to the show but I think there are better versions.

Great interplay between Keith and Jerry. Keith is a little low in the mix but sounds great. Billy sounds great this whole night too.
