Some crisp, bluesy guitar from Jerry and hot vocals from Bob.

Jerry is all over the place with the lyrics, but Brent is playing his butt off.

Jerry starts it off by flubbing the lyrics, but it's well played after that.

The jam before SSDD, Jerry is in the lead, and slowly but surely, Brent takes over and the spotlight is on him.

Samba In The Rain

Admit it - there have been worse songs from Brent and Phil.

This song can be really awesome. At times Jerry soars and shreds. All along Bruce keeps up his dominant role, with his keys rocking and sparkling.
Hell in a Bucket

Boston Garden

Towards the instrumental break, Jerry and Bruce are slugging it out. Good stuff. Bruce pushes things at the end for a powerful conclusion.

Sweet uptempo rocker, with some hot Bobby vocals and some Jerry fanning the mid-song instrumental.

This is really entertaining. You can't find a version from 1977 with better vocals, more diverse sounds or styles. 1991 had some truly great versions.
