I've seen both Jason & the Scorchers and the Fleshtones live. Both bands blister the paint off the wall, and I'd drop anything to see either one, but if I had to say which band is the best at delivering the goods I'd have to give it to the Fleshtones by a nose.

P.S. I may be a minority of one on this, but I've stubbornly insisted in more than one argument that the all-time-best Dylan cover is *not* Jimi Hendrix's version of "All Along the Watchtower", as great as it is; it's Jason & the Scorchers' hell-bent-for-leather take on "Absolutely Sweet Marie" off of the *Fervor* EP.
