...Bobby Keys, harmonica Sugar Blue, and Keyboards Nicky "Jamming with Edward" Hopkins and Ian Stewart perform with their customary elan. The production and mix are dazzling. Only the guitars are inadequate; if the rhythm guitar and short fills work as well as anyone's, the leads are, unfortunately, hopeless.
