Only a few months old but an early passionate outro to this one.

Had to check myself a few times when I didn't see this one under the date. Listen and vote!

tbinus78- I agree and learning to play both on guitar confirms that. I also feel like some Jack Straw and Black Throated Wind's open with the same chords.

Nice compact version but gets funky. The part that stood out for me was this little riff Jerry does around 3:45. Aloha!

Very much up there with the best. Jerry's vocal delivery is the biggest stand out for me. I am not so much a fan of the high pitched harmonics but overall solid soloing. I have listened to a ton of Losers before this version but this one just made me really appreciate the story within the song and I had a real visual in mind of how it would be seen on screen.

I usually like the slower tempo BEW's from 76-77 but this one is nice. Short and sweet with the solo early on that just pulled me in. Upvoted just for that.

My all time BEW is 5/28/77. I have yet to find another like it but this one is a close match. The solo has a little more swagger. Can't believe this is my first submission. No idea why this one is not here yet. Give a listen!
