I consider this one of my better jams. I especially like the whammy bar antics starting at 15:00.  I just had a new bone nut professionally installed which made a big difference in the guitar staying in tune. Yes, I had a Don Julio margarita to loosen me up a bit.  This is both the 1959 and the 1960 Tweed Fender Bassman amps showing why they are the Holy Grail.  Earlier today, I had replaced all of the caps in the pan and played for a while.  Nothing special.  I then decided to put back in the best of the old Astron capacitors in the main filter section (1st two caps) and it came alive again.  As old as they are, I am going to keep them in there.  It sounded better to me.  Together, these Bassman amps are almost as cool as having a vintage Marshall Super Lead stack.  I was so thankful my neighbors didn't call the cops.
