Jimmy channels Dickey in a lovely way here.

Not better, just different:

man, the one from jazzfest 2007 with derek, warren and chuck always gets me. prob my favorite version. hell, the studio version is tops!

it sounds like the band knew this was coming as the drummers were right there with him. and it's beautiful piano. it's just not jessica.

can any version without him be better than any version with him?

This made my day!

Jimmy nails the tone!

I'm a huge Jimmy fan and I think he always kills on Jessica. The 2000 tour was fantastic in that regard.

But one of the best versions I've heard is from the Hampton 70 birthday/funeral. There are a few amateur shots on youtube, but the pro-shot version seems to have disappeared. The crowd at that show during Jessica was the loudest I think I have ever heard. Ever.
