Long, patient, mellow version.

What can I say, I love Bobby and i love this tune. This naturally quirky song is executed perfectly, as with most outings in spring/summer '85

Jerry's first solo puts this one over the top

Rapid fire version out of a heady space. Jam is high octane

This one is tricky, because the whole band is clicking and Jerry is undeniably crushing it with fiery leads up the fret board. However, Bobby's slide is so distracting to me and takes me out of those "it" moments.

Jerry initiates his leads with absolutely spine tingling, delicate flutters, then builds the peak to cathartic explosion. Gorgeous

Smoking early version of Deal. Not the face shredding '89-'90 variety, but a hot little potato all the same

My favorite of the early 70s. Long, airy, flowing, and beautiful. A true highlight of the Houston '72 release. Digs deep with soul

“But this version goes to 11” - shit cranks and gets to the peak fast...
