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.

FANTASTIC! How this one doesn't have more votes is beyond me.
Dupree's Diamond Blues

Madison Square Garden

What's even odder is that this excellent version wasn't even listed on this site when the show was announced as an official release. I couldn't believe no one had submitted it before I did!

A bot??? Really? Never thought I’d live to see the day that Heady Version would have that problem. But…here we are, I guess.

…imagine getting THIS upset at other people liking a version that you don’t like. C’mon, man. Cool it.

Nice version from a good show in an underwhelming year. A big highlight of the first set.
