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..

Slow and serious. Mickey is masterful as is the overall tone control.Solo could have had more satisfying crescendo, fun lowkey set 1 vibe

Totally catches fire. This long jazzy DS cut is elegant and gorgeous. Winter 73 bliss 'n' glory. Notable for the sensitive, pristine WRS before and a blanketed, heavy swooshie Eyesie succeeding.

Hey phigment, the 80's and Brent is when "Cassidy" started getting pretty improvisational. I can't pull a specific version out of my ass but head to those late decades.
