2nd to Greek'84 for '80s fallback versions to me. Jerry's solo just does it.

I love how they bring back Slipknot! from nothing after the Samson. And the Franklin's is aamazing with this great drum roll outro! My favorite, so good.

This is one of my favorite versions also. The band is on fire at the Creek.

Tight, smooth and very energetic version. 6/18 is maybe a tick better to me, but there is no denying this excellent version. Love the bridge in to Big River.
