Kind of a humorous version makes it worth a listen. Includes lots of animal noises

Not bad! The mid song jam is very nice.

Splendid version, Jerry takes his time with the solo to make sure every note is perfect.

A rare UJB > PITB > UJB sandwich. Not the most extended jam ever but the segues are slick.

Awesome! A unique case where the Rider for certain out does the China Cat.

It's really not till the last 5 minutes of the song that you get anything that resembles "crashy noise". This is one that needs full attention though as there is so much going on here. It is certainly not a version you can play in the background during a party. I really do love this version though.

This version is fantastic! It really deserves more love. It's up there with all the other wonderful and highly regarded renditions from '74.

Set aside the cheesy Vince synth sound, this version is really solid and worth the listen for those that enjoy the song.

I agree, this is ridiculously good. I'd put it up against any version from the 80's or 90's.
