Get past murk with good headphones and you find a gem: Bobby's vox perfect, the arc powerful, Jer and Keith possessed.

Uptempo, and with a hard swagger, with a beaut of a Rio section. 2nd ever, sounds like they're still settling on the vibe.

Solid, emotional version. Bobby was on.

From blisteringly hot, into a sweet-and-light outro > OMSN, turning on a dime. Great fun.

Rip-roarin' version. The 2nd set perks up quite a bit after a sleepy 1st. Pig was still on.

So nice to have Bobby clear in the mix. Some times I think that his contribution is systematically undervalued as he's so consistently lost in the mix. This one is the exception though, and watch what he does.... Just beautiful throughout it.

The sweetness and youth in Jerry's voice, contrasted with the desperado lyrics and the gentleness of the - yes - heartbreakingly gorgeous playing contribute to making this one 'desert island' quality.

Plus it's acoustic Pig, which is pretty cool.

Seriously grinding rocker.

Slinky and stripped down to its bare essence. This is a great version and a strong showing for those heads who dig '70 above all others.
