Yeah, man - this one has some serious boogie. How was it underlooked for so long?

I really do hate this song, but the improvisational jam at the end is mind-blowing.

Eyes Of The World

This one cooks. Put your steaks on the barbecue, forget the charcoal, lighter fluid and the match. This version is so hot, it's all you need.

How in the world can this version be ranked so low? It totally rocks and kicks butt. If you've ever heard someone say "The band was tight." and you didn't know what they meant, just listen to this. Tight as tight can be.

Jerry's intensity, energy and focus are off the charts. Quadruple fanning early on. Oh yeah - quadruple fanning again mid jam. He wails and shreds. The Fat Man still rocks!!!!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

This version really cooks. Usually it's all about the transitional jam, but with this version, Jerry is doing his best guitar work during Rider, totally shredding it.
