Some crisp, bluesy guitar from Jerry and hot vocals from Bob.

Jerry is all over the place with the lyrics, but Brent is playing his butt off.

Jerry starts it off by flubbing the lyrics, but it's well played after that.

The jam before SSDD, Jerry is in the lead, and slowly but surely, Brent takes over and the spotlight is on him.

They didn't play well in Egypt. 1978 sucked. Right.

I've always found this to be a very childish song, but yeah - this version is hot.

Strand Lyceum

Love that funky way they fall into the tune.

Nassau Coliseum

Yes, you have to give a bump up for this, but you can say the same thing about 50 other versions. This doesn't stand so much higher than other versions so that they should be ignored while this just keeps climbing higher and higher.

I was one of a rare few to hear the four song soundcheck. It being Vegas, I went all in, telling my friends without a shadow of doubt, the band was going to open with Jack Straw.
