Great version of this song, percision and energy.

This is a murky recording but a solid version of DW. Jerry was laying down some nice "twangy" country licks on this one.

Incredibly energetic version, Bobby is at his best on this one. This was from a Fillmore East show, how could it not have been submited.

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!
