Such a nice version, included on Dozin' at the Knick -- this is my "go-to" Masterpiece.

Listen to the Jerry backing vocals at 2:40! Great version.

Werewolves of London
July 3, 1978
St. Paul Civic Center Arena

This is a fairly sloppy version and Bobby's slide playing is downright embarrassing -- but they pulled it all together less than a week later for the definitive version at Red Rocks.

Deer Creek Music Center

The is a really energetic latter day version. So glad this song got dusted off again after all those years on the shelf.
Uncle John's Band

Barton Hall - Cornell University

Very well-played, clean version, nice vocals. Should be getting more love here.
Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues
Oct. 1, 1994
Boston Garden

I do enjoy other parts of this show, but I can't vote for this song. Jerry's solo in the middle is very sloppy/lazy and has that annoying "pinched" quality that is pervasive in 1994 and 1995.

I know there are those who refuse to listen to anything from '95, and that's not without good reason, but this is an absolute delight. The enthusiastic vocals and the way Jerry plays with the dynamics make this one of the better versions of this tune out there.
