There's a couple moments on the live album here where Jack's flagrant fingers develop a mind of their own and propell the story beyond its words, living up to the largely unrecorded spontaneity which is Jack's legend. These were years when Jack's recording career was full steam, no one yet cared where the train was headed or about small details blowing by. Enjoy the ride.
