Love how Jerry starts his first solo. The rest is great too. His playing is easy and free.

Jerry sounds tired and pained here, which of course is perfect. For some reason he usually doesn't nail the solo in this tune but he does here.

Nassau Coliseum

Beautiful version. Lots of subtlety and emotion in Jerry's vocal. He kills it in the solo and his lick before the repeated chorus at the end cuts like a knife.

Nassau Coliseum

Huge version with heroic solos. Billy is the driving force.

Another great mysterious, meandering jam out of Saint and into a great Comes a Time

Love the emphatic singing and angry riffs from Jerry

Jerry's middle solo is brilliant. Cutting, piercing.
