Jerry really connects the dots in the solo. The first few phrases in particular are sublime.

Brooding, hypnotizing version. Beautiful playing by Jerry and Brent, and brilliant vocal with unexpected touches.

Best Brent solo I've ever heard on this tune. Jerry follows up in style.

Great solo with brilliant Brent accents, and then burning coda. Check out what Jerry plays at 6:06. Listen to the Bob Morris aud.

How is this not on here? Dark and deep, dominated by Phil and Bobby.

The end of this is outrageous

Phil plays something wild at the end of the jam. Doesn't even sound like him - maybe he's plucking with his fingers? Anyway it's cool

Jerry sings this carefully and with feeling. Last solo is big.

At 10 minutes there's the ghost of a St. Stephen tease that has all of Long Island cheering, but of course the boys succeed in disappointing. Great NFA.

Huge version won't quit. Agree with Mercury that Bobby stands out.
