A sweet and mellow version with some lovely Jerry fills throughout. Marty Robbins would be proud.

Mexicali Blues

Tight, high-energy, and a blast of a rollicking-good-time cowboy tune. Just exactly what Mexicali Blues should be.

Only the third performance. The groovy rhythm of the early versions lets Brent's piano REALLY flourish here. Tighter than most other '82 versions.

Played a little slower than usual, but not missing an ounce of passion. Keith and Donna sound great during the outro.

Strummin' to the rhythm that the DRUMMERS made. They're pounding their kits while the rest of the band rages behind them. Keith sounds great too.

Tom Constanten is a HUGE factor in this excellent version.

Keith and Jerry go NUTS. Best-ever, in my book.

Brent blowing minds with his solo. An awesome version from an awesome show.

Wembley Empire Pool

This one is AMAZING - off the rails in its energy level. The band explodes in the kind of fury that makes tracks like this special.

The best ever, in my opinion. It absolutely scorches. Jerry's soloing is manic, but don't count out Brent's keys - they're just as responsible for how epic this one is.
