Beat it on Down The Line

This could have been the debute of this song. A very young Bobby is kind of yelling it. It's interesting to hear how these early covers evolved.

This is a beautiful and emotional version, it's hard to hear over the crowd noise, but they where digging it!

Bobby was singing with clarity and authority on this one. This is a good tight version.

Billy and Micky lay down a tight rythm for every one to lock into, and they do. Crowd noize on all sources that i've heard.

^^Agreed. Extra energy on this one. Jerry approched his solo with verasity and Phil was really driving this one along.

If you are an 11 aficionado and you don't put this one in your top 5, then you are clearly not high enough!

May of 1977 Jerry and his T.B became one. This solo is a prime example of that.
