Ripping opener with a unique solo from Jerry!

Jerry and Bob are both really good on this one. Phil and Bill drive it forward nicely as well -- doesn't drag at all like some do.

Not the best vocally, but very good instrumentally.

Billy really makes this one -- some very cool snare and hi-hat work starting just before 2:00!

Very technically sound — almost like he’s doing a rudiment exercise for much of it, which is fine by me!

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

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.
