Capitol Theater

Cold Rain and Slow - very mellow cool version they seem to be tooling around the arrangement - Bobby and Keith standout on this one.

Intro is long and dreamy all Jer + Keith. Jerry and Donna's vocal work is lovely here.

This one's all country upfront and then country fried on the outro...nice! (source:CM)

They hit the groove on this one so Jerry can throw the nasty sauce on it. (source:CM)

Just came across this disc from an old friend who has moved on... rarely listen to anything after '90....but this version sticks with me. +1

They grip this and rip it until there's nothing left.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Jer takes what appears to be a laid back approach here and then throws CRAZY fills all over the this one - sheesh - have never heard one like this ... can't tell if he carved a fatty at the break or just was in a good mood... the S+D that follows is toxic so maybe it was the powder.

Oh so fine for the first time played and easily one of the top 10 versions ever.
