NFA as a Jerry tune? Yup, here it is! "But you drive me back -- huh!" Hell yes!

Overlooked GEM! Swift yet deeply felt. Jerry CRUSHES it.

Better overall than 3/18/95, though that has lots going for it. And while I like the '86 versions and can see how they might have played it well in that quite different way -- but none of them gel for me.

Best ever? Probably.

The best version, for my money. The big solo from 3/20/77 is better, but here the solo is good and (more importantly, I think) the overall groove is superior. Much more off-beat, more raggae-ish. Bill & Mickey lay down some serious hits.
