Phil drives the first couple of verses, pushing hard against the band’s tempo. Slide Bobby.

poignant singing from Bobby, and the whole band pours it on during the solo break. Note the drummers especially. Top notch version.

Picked these because I knew and loved the originals. In retrospect I would have started elsewhere, but that's in the past. I thought I was ready for the bus after the headiness of the originals, but how wrong I was!

Takes a minute to materialize out of "Playing," but that's worth hearing. Jerry rips out the "train" line!

Nice solo from Jerry, and then a big contribution from Brent. Not to be missed by Brenantics. Giving this one the up-vote bump.

Surprisingly nice version, kicks up some at the end.
