Really solid version, but the real magic is in the transition into Estimated, silky smooth!

Super tight and bouncy China Cat that just kicks the door down into a fiery I Know You Rider.

This one absolutely rips. I'm shocked to see it so far down the list. Give it a listen, it's worth your time.

The thing that first caught my attention was Jerry cracking up over something in the first 25 seconds of the song. It could have been their stumbling out of the starting gate. After that it's down to business and its a nice strong version with convincing playing an singing from Jerry and Co. Give it a spin..

Simply put, this version is just sublime. The jam that follows the main structure of the song is some of the most beautiful GD I've ever heard. Give it listen, you won't be disappointed.
