Best Brent solo I've ever heard on this tune. Jerry follows up in style.

Great solo with brilliant Brent accents, and then burning coda. Check out what Jerry plays at 6:06. Listen to the Bob Morris aud.

How is this not on here? Dark and deep, dominated by Phil and Bobby.

The false start on the fourth chorus of the solo is a thing Jerry does that I love so much

If you like your Altheas angry, bitter, and cutting, as opposed to mellow, this is the one for you. I love them all and this one is amazing. Surprised it's not higher.

Burning version. Jerry's last solo is fantastic. Listen to the crowd lose their minds when he goes full Chuck Berry in his last chorus.

Jerry tries some very unique approaches during the solos and builds up lots of drama

The way Jerry slowly turns up the heat in the last solo is amazing. You don't know what's happening until it's over.
