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.

Great version. Jerry's on fire in this whole set.

Heavy, melancholy version, Jerry's voice especially. He really nails sweet lies and the crowd goes wild.

That phrase that begins the second go-round in the solo, where it almost sounds distorted and then ends on a single, sharp note that just falls dead on the spot. Beautiful

Jerry uses the tremor and brokenness of his voice to beautiful effect
