Incendiary second solo becomes delicate and beautiful before they build the final refrain.

You can't compare 70s Deals w/ late 1980 onward. There's a four minute shredded 2nd solo on this one that wasn't a part of Deal in its 1st decade.

This is the first one with the second solo, revamped for the 15th anniversary.

Pre rio grandeo is good, but there are two peaks post rio grandeo, one built off the other and the latter crashes into Franklin's Tower.

A fluttery and lyrical solo after the bridge and then an autobiography of an outro. There is a video on YouTube.

Not much that I can add to the original post. Listen to it and you’ll likely hear the same.

Spectacular peak. It may be short because of the 3rd set, but the playing is so good. A lot of winners today.

Yes, this is summery for sure. The linked source sounds great and everything is tight as can be, even if it is short.
