Me and My Uncle

Veterans Memorial Coliseum

Jerry slays this laid-back (yet still kickin') version. Sweet stuff here, into a strong Big River.

Just a blistering drum beat to propel this one! Good stuff!

Are there better versions out there? Undoubtedly! But this is still worthy of an entry. Some nice, tinkling piano.

They Love Each Other

Gotta agree with Dannydread here: Jerry and Donna go together here like peanut butter and jerry, er... jelly.

I commented on the attached Estimated that I can't always get behind Brent's playing - it just doesn't suit my personal tastes (to each their own). But as with that Estimated, here, Brent is simply exquisite, ferocious, even! So glad to have been able to hear these tracks with an open mind!

I can't always get behind Brent's playing. Just my personal taste. However, here's, he's quite nice indeed.
Not Fade Away

Stop me if you've heard this: I'm really surprised this doesn't have more than (2, now 3) votes. I mean, no, by no means is it the BEST EVER, and I guess you could look at your vote in that sense - a vote from you being a vote for only the very best ever. But I think this patient, sweet, well-grooved version ought to be a tiny bit further up the list.

Maybe not THE best, but I feel I was more thoroughly entertained, personally, with this version than a lot of others. Seventeen minutes of wonderfulness. Jerry is amazing.
