This magnificent monster could easily be near the top for '71. The show has electrical problems in 1st set, but not here. Listen to it.

Show has a metallic twangy sound, to great effect here: turns this sweet tune into a hot industrial number.

Goes into a "The Main Ten" jam at 3:05 typical of the first month or so with Keith. Plus Phil is going bananas back there.

Jerry's bites down like an acid crocodile. Hot electric wires and sharp as a tack phrasing....

Listen past a few sound and static issues and you have a real beaut of a cruiser here. A solid doo-wop pulse gives it a different flavor too.a

Keith's musicality on display too. His accompanyment to Jer during the climax is top form.

This one has all the blazing voices in the head on the verge of madness trippiness that the great Estimateds can bring. Bobby's perfect.

This one pokes you in the eye and demands your attention. NOT backgroud music.

From the first note this version just rocks. Jer's all over it on his first solo, which is quite different from other BEW of the time. Lovely "oooh oooh" harmonies from Bobby and Donna, too.

Not only 22 minutes, but 22 interesting, musically exploring solo-after-solo minutes. My new favourite.
