Billy is pretty aggressive, as he is this whole show, and Jerry's soloing is hot...

Flowing straight out of a fantastic 'Half-Step,' this is a goon one. It's between '71 and '72 for the best year for 'Sugar Mags' IMO...

Jerry's solo has a bit of a '73 feel on this one...that liquid, mellow intensity.

Tight, well-sung and really buzzing with energy. Keith has some great flourishes.

Hilarious intro as Bob and Jerry come in out of time with Phil. Hot one once they get going -- especially Billy, who's really 'on' at this show...

Billy drives this one along nicely.

^I noticed that too! Cracked me up because I always find that their intros sound similar, especially when they were both relatively new to me.

A nice, snappy one. The Billy only ones are a nice contrast to the more lumbering feel of the RD ones.

It is perfect. Jerry hitting those closing notes just right really make or break El Paso for me, and he nails them on this one!
