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.

Hot damn. Listen to the AUD so you can hear the crowd eating it up. The band peaks multiple times.

I love his tone from this period on (using more/different echo/chorus effects? Little help here?). And sweet accompaniment all riffs at the end, nice spot!

Outstanding version. Won't be surprised when this moves higher up the list.

The guitar playing is unreal, and don't let it overshadow an emotive performance of the ballad portion of the song.
