Country rock pulsing with jazzy energy. One of the most exciting pre-hiatus versions.

Fierce yet loose. Lots of fun is being had and it's infectious.

A little extra mustard on this one.

Uniquely satisfying. Bob and Keith lock into a mind-meld that leads Jerry in some interesting directions.

Unique, trippy energy on the intro. Mellow vibes throughout.

I adore Keith's solo. it's so commanding that it leaves room for Jerry and Bob to trade chord work off one another, which is interesting to hear as well. Not quite as searing as some versions but incredibly inspired nonetheless.

The landing out from The Wheel is a blast. You can feel the crowd's excitement at the transition and it's pretty contagious.

Not a shred-fest, but perfectly funky with some great grooves. Underrated for sure.

Anyone else catch that little In My Time of Dying tease from Jerry? Sweet, mellow version.

Does anyone else here hints of Spanish Jam? Sweet shit.
