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.

Keith is actually playing lead piano from start to finish. This is one of those times he's completely focused, aggressive and spot-on. Pig gives a nice vocal finale.

Pig makes a few mistakes with the lyrics, but makes up for it at the end, giving it a few more passes.

Nice fills from Bruce - that added dimension makes a difference.
