Phil is high in the mix. One of the best '71 versions, I believe.

Jerry almost goes Hawaiian early on. Maximum twang, midtempo by Billy. Nice fills by Keith.

I absolutely agree with you about one drummer, but that's not a popular position. From listening to songs with just Bill, I have decided that he has a lot to do with how well the song turns out. It starts with the tempo he has chosen from the onset of the song. With two drummers, that dynamic is less likely to occur. Also, I don't care for how hard Mickey strikes the drums. At times, the drums sound cluttered and interfere with the melody.

This is a tremendous piece of music.

The gentle outro's interplay between Jerry and Keith is breathtaking. This is a must listen. So wonderful. And the Eyes that precedes is also.

I don't get it, I guess. I think this is a hot mess, especially in China Cat where the band seems out of sync with each other. And Rider lacks the usual energy. This show is going to get much better, though.
