A nice late era gem. Jerry's playing is exceptionally tight in this one.

Featured on day 8 of the 2018 iteration of 30 days of Dead. A very intense and dancy version. I actual was quite enjoying Vince's input to this version. He does a bunch of cool "latinish" fills in this one. Phil drives this one hard too.

Albeit on the shorter side, this version contains a really cool and unique segue into Good Lovin'. Worth checking out.

This version really brings me to that place. Checks all the right boxes. Perfect.

This one crashes along. Lots of Brent too.
