Not the best vocally, but very good instrumentally.

Billy really makes this one -- some very cool snare and hi-hat work starting just before 2:00!

Very technically sound — almost like he’s doing a rudiment exercise for much of it, which is fine by me!

Pretty good climax on this one, which is the key to the song IMO. All-around solid version, surprised it's not on here yet.

They sound a bit bored with it to my ears until Phil kicks them into gear around the 4:00 mark. Probably smart that they gave it a break after '71...

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!
