From the cold depths of 1982. Powerful, imaginative solo with surprising twists and turns. Listen to the matrix.

Jerry's playing is sharp as hell. Incredible sounding AUD for this show too.

When Jerry was on in this era it was phenomenal the way he had feeling and dynamics in the touch of the pick

One of the best solos I've heard on this tune. If you like your solos light on notes and heavy on feeling, listen up.

The intervals and touch and chromatic phrases in the solo are fantastic

So cool that they go into a loose jam out of this tune. Bobby is def playing Wang Dang Doodle.

It's super weird that Jerry is playing the riff in the wrong key here. It gives to tune an otherworldly feel that's kind of cool, but weird.

This tune is so perfect for Keith. He sounds great, as does Bobby. Love that he's so high in the mix in this SB.
