Clarence Clemons sits in for the whole show and really is a great addition. They rock this Let It Rock better than anywhere else I have heard anywhere

Outstanding and unusual version. What's different about it? Well, I never heard Brent play like that before! And Bobby's slide practice is mostly excellent.

By the way I just want to say that I love reading Beggars Tomb's little Dead haikus. Keep 'em coming, bro.

I haven't systematically listened to Bird Song versions but I am a big and discriminating fan of the song and this is a topnotch performance.

Like everyone else said: slinky, funky, crunchy, dirty, hot.
