Like the night before, a great version from a legendary show that I'm surprised wasn't already here...

Shocked this wasn't here already...gorgeous version from a legendary show, about two weeks before they recorded the studio version.

For a song with less diversity from one version to the next, this one is better than most, and rare coming so late in the 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!
