A-MAZING, tight as a f'ing drum version with Garica on his absoulte A-GAME. Totally epic, earth-scorching leads!!! MUST HEAR!!!!!

Really long, jazzier version that goes in a lot of directions- some fantastic interplay. Jerry hangs on the main riff at the end forever!

This version stumbles and mumbles its way to a start, but ends up being a real heater!
