This is when I thought the show locked in.

Jerry's just on fire throughout this whole show. They jam the beginning for a while before the first verse at a nice, brisk clip.

Bit slower than the ones I usually groove on, but Jerry's bounce started off a very fine day for me.

Nice shuffle. Jerry and Donna's vocals on this sound great (how many times can you find that?)

Not the best ever, but the live premiere. Listen to the AUD to hear the crowd flip!

Must-hear jamming. Unbelievable power and energy. Pig adds a whole other level to the following Feedback.

Patient, perfectly built version. One of the best.

Agree. The guests make this version.

Branford's solo is good, even Bobby's slide solo is better than average (although Bruce steps on him and then doesn't continue supporting). Gotta love this big three-segue opener.
