Not a song I love, but this one has fire to spare. I love this show.

Gorgeous, lilting version with a transcendent solo. Brent is great on the keys, too.

On the war path for this show now. This is a fun, spritely version with great work from Jerry.

Thoroughbred version! Comes galloping out of the gate like a champ and never lets up. Part of a monster set 2.

This should be way higher. It might well be the best of the whole decade. Incendiary version.

Really great NYC version. Also, strangely, the first since May of that year.

This may be my new favorite version. Jerry puts everything he's got into it. Really soulful performance in the middle of a first set that thrills relentlessly.

I.....I....I can't believe I am upvoting a version of this song. There's an undeniable energy to this one, and Jerry plays some really interesting and creative stuff that deserves a better home than this dumpster fire of a song.
