The intro is longer than most. Bouncy uptempo version. Excellent jamming.

I like the way they play this - it isn't direct and in your face. More exploratory than most.

Man, I love these '82 Sugar Mags. Tje energy, focus and execution. They are so damn lively - excellent fast tempo serves this song well.

Instrumental jam hitting some sweet peaks.

Jerry nails the "throw me in the jailhouse" part, spot on.

The instrumental jam is fluid, floating along like a butterfly. Jazzy, it seems like it's a brother of the jams towards the end of Estimated. Jerry flows into MIDI flute - which works very well - back into guitar-mode. The re-entrry jam is focused, with purpose, as it buidls and lands back home. Jerry's voice is in good shape. Beautiful.

Solid vocals and a sweet instrumental jam.

Love the way they work the fiddle into the instrumental jam, along with Jerry and Bruce.
