Very smoking version that's a fair representation of the entire show. Great energy all night!

It's just played really well. The entire show is good but nothing better than an A-. Show was heavy in my rotation in youth. A+ SBD. Nice CRS opener!

Played in hyper speed and everything still sounds just exactly perfect. A great way to end a set in any era

Damn! Unhealthy JG really kicks ass sometimes! Excellent bouncy >, Jer sings along in 'laid down last night.' verse - Rider is simply out for blood!

There's just a litte cheesy chriping synth...outside of that this Bird is jumpy,agressive, and probably cracked my top 5

Man I love this 'silky' version. Jerry plays about 50% less notes than your typical CRS. Que this one up and melt away in your chair.

Most up-tempo CRS of the year. Jerry means business during the outro!

Bruce/Vinny/Bobby really get at this one! The Row Jimmy, TLEO, UJB and BTW also shine on this night
