Best Loser you haven’t heard yet! Jerry takes the solo for an extra walk around the block! Required listening folks!

Jerry’s tone is just impeccable here! Moreover, Jerry adds a tad more umph to the soulful vocals. A standout of the era!

Blazing version, but I nominated it primarily for its placement within the context of the tasty Playin'->Half-Step->Big River->Playin' sandwich.

Jerry's pipes never sounded sweeter, and Keith's barrel-house piano chops complements perfectly!

The sbd source is good, the aud source is better, but the matrix source is choice - best of both worlds. Check it!

Tonight's version has never been a favorite of mine, but I can tip a hat to its daring and artistic achievements.

From an epic show! This Playin' suite is raw funk-jazz-rock fusion at its dirtiest. Not for the faint of heart or timid of mind! Sublime stuff here.
