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.

Yeah, it's the best out there. If you have to find faults, it is kinda rough sounding and Jerry has that whiny singing voice. Still, it's the best.

Oakland Auditorium

Brent explodes during the first instrumental break, then Jerry takes the lead. After some solid vocals, Jerry jams it out tight. Not just a throwaway version.
Wang Dang Doodle

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Nice instrumental break jamming from Jerry and Vice. Great vocals by Bob and some nice harmonies. More 1991 sweetness.
Desolation Row

Berkeley Community Theater

Yeah, he flubs things a couple of times, but overall the vocals are good.
Dire Wolf

Freeborn Hall, University of California

Short but sweet instrumental break for Jerry.
