Mexicali Blues

RFK Stadium

Band's tight; Great honey sound, especially from Phil, Bobby sings it well

El Paso
March 9, 1981
Madison Square Garden

There are parts that aren't so sharp, however there is a nice full band contribution that lasts until Bobby comes back in. Box set sounds nice!

the tempo is slightly slower; gives it a stateliness. Brent's organ interplay with the slide guitar works, and Jerry comes in and slays.

Clean, laid back and almost restrained; a clinic on less is more and a Brent keyboard showcase

Pigpen wants the boys to tighten up a little bit and I think they oblige him nicely..."WE CAN'T WAIT A MINUTE!"

This version cooks; love how the ratchet up the energy and bring it back down again.
