Streaks across the sky like a comet. Choose the SBD version, you won't regret it. Bobby and Donny are totally on together.

Really needs a cleanup, or some miracle tapes to clear the sound on this little gem. They were on. Where's the rest of the SB?

Listen through the murky AUD and you'll find a powerhouse version that clearly blew the doors off. Crowd energy contributes to a great version.

No bad ones at all from this era, but listen in and you can hear Jerry drive Bobby higher and higher. Great powerful emotive energy.

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.
