Nice early electric version. Always preferred this key for Dire Wolf compared to when they changed it in the later years. Just right. Nice version.

Takes you right to Chicago. Jerry’s playing emulates the blues greats. Hard rocking version that reminds me of a Junior Wells cut. Highly recommend.

Haunting organ playing. Crystalline and psychedelic early version that feels very spacey. Great vocal delivery.

Very nice solo from Jerry. Phil is all over this as well, some great melodic bass playing that compliments the song very well.

These early 70s Jack Straws have so much Charm. Silky smooth rendition full of grace and wonderful joyous interplay. Surprised this isn’t here yet.

Underrated show!! Absolutely groovin Cumberland that doesn’t overstay it’s welcome at all, at times very mellow and overall just a nice flowing jazzy country jam over here, lovey keyboard work from keith

This is pretty bonkers not gonna lie, stellar version that cools you off after that deep and dark The Other One while still making you feel like you’re walking the tightrope. Love love love this version and how light yet heavy it can be. Don’t wanna be that guy but don’t listen to Nog. Let your ears decide! Love to all

Really should be higher, I’m not even that much of an estimated fan but this version is really heartfelt, great energy here!
