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

Space jams from summer '85 are legit

Hornsby on accordion makes this sound like it could be echoing out of a pub somewhere in Ireland. Jerry's solo is stunning. In some instances, like this, the accordion works. In others, like the subsequent Mexicali Blues, it is painful to endure. This one is lovely.

Sure, Keith and Jerry shine brightly on their solos, but Bobby floored me with some very nuanced, delicate fanning throughout. Choooooice.

Super slinky and slowed down version. Keith especially shines on this track, and throughout the entire show. Highly enjoyable
