Great cover of an awesome weavers song. The song works well in the encore slot. Really fun listening to it, Jerry singing this song is a real trip!

A fairly short version, but don't let the time fool you, this version is as intense as they come. Its to wonder how they could make this up on the fly

Tight and upbeat, energetic soloing, but at the same time relaxed and controlled.
