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.

I like the vocals and Vince does a good job holding the fort until Bruce arrives.

I disagree. I don't think this slow tempo is right for this song. I want a little funky rock & roll ditty - not some snail's pace bar tune. You can't blame the age of the people voting for 3-14-90 - there is something different happening there. You can feel this emotional outburst coming from Jerry when he belts out his "Thank you"s and his "For a real good time". You can tell he's quivering with passion and that the song is a heart-felt tune of appreciation.
