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.

Fire On The Mountain

The Palladium

I think the reason this one doesn't have a higher rating is because it's also listed on here as Scarlet > Fire for this show, and that one's got 4X as many votes as this (at the time of this comment).

I absolutely LOVE what they're doing in the first 12-13 minutes here; so melodic and so very clearly in tune with one another.

17-18 minutes in, it's going to eventually be revealed that Jerry was indeed communicating to interdimensional beings.

Lily Blue - Yes!! I hadn't heard this funky-ass version before the Dave's release. It's dripping in funk and goodness!
