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.

Jerry seizes on an interesting theme in the solo and tears it up in the coda.

Might be the first version where Jerry solos for three choruses. Good vibes.

What they start playing at minute 17 will make you stop doing what you're doing.
