Wildly exuberant both before and after "SSDD" vocals. And Billy is all over this great AUD.

Swings and shimmies before busting out the heavy artillery.

Played pretty fast (for the slow version) and heavy with MIDI and spirited playing. Not to everyone’s taste, perhaps, but I like it!

Sparkling rendition. Fans of upbeat '89 versions like 7/7 should check this out.

St. Paul Civic Center Arena

It’s not an exaggeration to say that this was one of the best songs in their repertoire around the time of this version.

Boston Music Hall

What a journey! At first deft and delicate, then thick and swinging ... and of course there's a classic '72 space freakout. Highly recommended.

Wow, where did that come from? A unique jam makes for one of the coolest NFAs of the decade.

Jerry switches to slide after several verses, followed shortly by a smoooth segue to Walkin’ Blues. Cool and different.
