Good Lovin'

Uh, yeah this version is off the hook. Blazing hot for the first half. Uniquely jazzy in the middle. And no pig version should be below a Bobby version. And I love me some Bobby, just not with this tune

This is indeed a stunner and Bobby, in particular stands out, this is some of his best rhythm playing, his tone is so good. Billy is great and Phil is simply magnificent in his solo. Jerry’s excellence is almost rote because, of course.

This is easily a top 10 version. Jerry’s tone is unique and he takes it to places I haven’t heard in any other.

This is a gawd damn barn burner and I won’t argue with anybody who claims this is the goat. Holy shit the second solo is fire

Love this one so much. I put it right behind Kezar, making it second all time best. 73 was THE year for he’s gone!
