Not the best recording, but Jerry vocals are just right on this version.

Bobby's voice is in top form on this tight, energetic version. The transition into NFA is flawless.

This is a tight, high enegy, version. Really about as good as this song got. You can tell the audience agreed.

Good acoustic version of this song. The audio quality isn't as good as the 05/70 versions but the playing and vocals are quite good.

From an all acoustic set. Tight harmonies on this one.

This is a really good find here, Sally! When Jerry nails that opening guitar line and his vocal gets that high lonesome tone, you know that you've got something. And this one really delivers that intangible quality that happens when this song is done right. Although I prefer the Strat tone that Jerry was getting on this song in 72, he's in the ball park with Tiger on this one. This version definitely deserves more attention.

Jerry's laying down some tasty, country, Strat licks. The vocals are a little high on this recording. This looks like the only source for this show.

Bobby handles Chuck Berry covers with a lot of glee. This one is a good example of that. I love what Jerry's doing with that Strat on this song, and the whole show. 71, single kit, no clutter, no brainer!

Billy was really setting the direction of this one. I think he was in a Jazzy mood!
