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.

Admit it - there have been worse songs from Brent and Phil.

This song can be really awesome. At times Jerry soars and shreds. All along Bruce keeps up his dominant role, with his keys rocking and sparkling.
Hell in a Bucket

Boston Garden

Towards the instrumental break, Jerry and Bruce are slugging it out. Good stuff. Bruce pushes things at the end for a powerful conclusion.

Sweet uptempo rocker, with some hot Bobby vocals and some Jerry fanning the mid-song instrumental.

This is really entertaining. You can't find a version from 1977 with better vocals, more diverse sounds or styles. 1991 had some truly great versions.
