Best Brent solo I've ever heard on this tune. Jerry follows up in style.

Great solo with brilliant Brent accents, and then burning coda. Check out what Jerry plays at 6:06. Listen to the Bob Morris aud.

How is this not on here? Dark and deep, dominated by Phil and Bobby.

Weird raggedy version with some amazing Jerry moments. Also love the guy who yells when Phil comes in on the intro.

Jerry's playing in the jam is fantastic.

Should be higher. I don't think I've heard a better version. Phil is insane.

Amazing version. The best 70s versions have an airy, elastic quality, with Jerry sounding like a shower of sparks. His solo and playing in the jam are awesome.

I love what Jerry plays from 9:10-9:20
