I've yet to hear a '72 version that doesn't kick at least some degree of ass, and this is no exception...

A nice, snappy one. The Billy only ones are a nice contrast to the more lumbering feel of the RD ones.

It is perfect. Jerry hitting those closing notes just right really make or break El Paso for me, and he nails them on this one!

^It actually closes the first set :P
Truckin'

Bobby's chord work during Jerry's solos on this one really struck me as I was listening for the 48th anniversary today...some really neat stuff!

Not always a huge fan of He's Gone, but I like the up-tempo feel of this one and prefer it early in the show like this.
