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

Mexicali Blues

Hollywood Palladium

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

Madison Square Garden

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.

Great version with tons of experimentation that doesn't deserve that whole essay on why it sucks. Don't like it? Fine, no problem. But don't ruin the fun for others. Let people enjoy what they want to enjoy, y'know? It's not an insult to you (nor is it a disaster) if people like this version. On a lighter note, I can't think of any PITB that gets weirder than this one. The synths and breakdowns are thrilling for fans of noise rock, and the band's playing is top-notch. I love it!

Vince is a big part of this one. I love his contributions here - he's dabbling in madness right alongside Jerry.

^ If I were to guess, the "block" and "unfollow" buttons are in the same place as the "report" and "ban" buttons. That is to say, nowhere to be found. Ah well. At least this was a good reminder to give this show another listen sometime soon. :)

^ Eew. What a weird, creepy, and totally irrelevant thing to say. Hope you reconsider writing this and delete it soon.

Love this version - one of my favorites! Man, '71 had some great ones, didn't it?
