Listen to Phil on this one. Then listen to Bobby.

OK, I'll say it: "I can't believe this isn't on here." Majestic, powerful MD. Jerry on a mission. Bobby playing clippety-cloppety sounds in the coda.

Jerry sinks his teeth into this jam. A wonder to behold.

Arguably the version in which Bobby forgot the fewest lyrics. Also great, imaginative playing by Jerry throughout.

Civic Center

From the cold depths of 1985 comes a truly great MSWS. Drums are tight, Phil and Bobby sound great, and Jerry repeatedly comes up with gold.

So sorry to hear it NJ!

It's super weird that Jerry is playing the riff in the wrong key here. It gives to tune an otherworldly feel that's kind of cool, but weird.

This tune is so perfect for Keith. He sounds great, as does Bobby. Love that he's so high in the mix in this SB.

Love Jerry playing Woody Woodpecker at about 5 minutes in. They get down to business in the jam. Love Bobby's playing throughout.
