Unique "slow" version that caps off a monster jam out of Truckin'. Must hear material.

There is something indescribably sweet and perfect about this version...sounds like it could have been recorded for an album. I just love it.

Very laid back but sooo tasty. Jerry's lines are so supple.

Awesome version, Jerry has a cool feedback/sustain part during the solo that just gets me every time. Segues into a killer GSET.

The Scarlet is very 'meh' to my ears, but the Fire definitely rocks.
