Tender, soothing, perfect. Brimming with firecracker... jerry rips a mean fret-flyer or two

down to business in the mines of emotion. Tight and incredible. A gem of a intuitive version with lots of rootsy charisma and swingin' euphoria..

Wow.... major LLR with cresting, soaring Jerry leads and a warm, resonant Weir lead vocal. donna's soft voice before the final build is absolutely beautiful. We rarely get to hear it.

Slightly mystified as to why this is top 5, seeing as the solo does not reach the soaring peaks of two nights prior, or of Duke 1978, to name two examples
