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.

Bob forgets the words, which gives Jerry a chance to improvise quite nicely until Bob remembers where he is.

Mellow version. Bob singing in hushed tones.

Radio City Music Hall

The quality of the audience recording improves quickly. The vocals aren't too sharp, but Jerry plays this in a style that deviates from the norm. Worth a listen for the guitar work alone.

Jerry's guitar work gives this a Mexican feel that is lost later on. Unfortunately, the audience recording mars a good portion of this tune.

I like Jerry's guitar intro. Very good vocals. A strong performance.
