Jerry just attacks this one (vocally too) right from the outset. I love summer '89.

As focused and energetic as the rest of the show, Jerry plays with the phrasing of his solos without missing a beat.

Another noteworthy '77 version. Listen for Jerry's melodic lines over Bob and Donna's vocal coda.

Tight, melodic, lovely. This one really grabbed my attention.

No kidding! Thunderous, yet melodic. Try it -- you'll like it.

Good version, but I believe it's played electric.
