Bobby sings the hell out of this one. I know we've all heard dozens of these, but this one had that little bit extra that throws it over the top.

This song usually doesn't do it for me, but this is quite pretty. The SBD cuts out mid-solo, but it's a minor problem.

Jerry flubs some lyrics, but I liked the solo. Hints at the promise later to come in this well-known show.

The surviving tape has some issues, but this is a powerful version.

Great version. Lots to unpack in this one, and on first listen, I can hear the ABB influence.

Points for its place in the sequence, the blistering guitar runs, and Keith being on fire.

grendel nailed this one. Hop on board this one! (edit) Sorry, didn't want to disrespect anyone else who commented, it was just that comment that really helped me unlock this version. You all have great taste!
