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.

Wow - Jerry reaches a really high peak half way through. Worth a listen from a solid show.

Bruce and Phil shine throughout. Everybody jumps in for the final instrumental break, showing the potential for an all-out jam fest.

Zoo Amphitheater

Bob's vocals are hot, Jerry's guitar tight. Phil thumps along with a driving beat. Lots of fun in less than 3 minutes.

Brent is turned up really loud and his performance is lackluster. It mars the song.

Anaheim Stadium

I like this instrumental break, as Jerry plays slow and lazy. It makes this one stand out in its own way.
