The intro is longer than most. Bouncy uptempo version. Excellent jamming.

Lakeland Civic Center

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.

Although he isn't given the reins, Keith sounds good on this one.

Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

The highlight is one of those flashes of brilliance Keith is capable of.

Richfield Coliseum

Bruce is a little tentative on his solo, but Jerry goes at it. Vince steps up and shows that when he's playing well - and not overbearing - he's a good fit.

Bruce takes the lead and has a really sweet piano solo in the first instrumental break, with Jerry getting his licks in during the second instrumental break.

Bruce adds a nice dimension to the song. The fiddle sound works well.
