Tight, inspired, rockin'. Best of the Euro '72 run. Give it some love, folks!

One knows from Jerry's opening vocals "cost a lot to win" sung with extra twang, that it's gonna be rockin' with that good county, funky vibe.

What more can be added to all the showering accolades that this version has already received? Just sit (or dance) and marvel. An all-timer for sure!

Vocally speaking, Jerry lends an extra touch of unique phrasing on this one. He really demonstrates the character in this song with feeling.

The middle solo makes it for me. The Mutron is Jerry's muse.

A rough, raw & raunchy reading right here. Everyone fully delivers, but Jerry's solos have extra grit to exhume. A definitive version.

I resisted the Pretty Peggy O for a number of years, but was finally seduced by her from this night! Jerry's chops are sweet and his voice even sweeter. Happy to say I got caught in the rapture of love for this one.
