My birthday show (albeit a few years early). Worth it just to hear what comes out of Bobby's throat at the beginning of the song.

From an all-around great show (the extra accent in the count-in must have caused some smiles)

It sounds like the boys gave a little extra on these "American" songs for their European fans.

Oh man, I can't believe I haven't listened to this DP yet! Stellar stuff, my favorite stand alone version.

We need to get this fixed. It's been submitted a bunch of times and others have voted for others of those. This one should have like 16 votes.

Hell yes! nice punctuations from Mickey, Cooks for a while then Jerry takes off. Quite funky. Massive peak. Melting transition into >

Bobby really stands out here (both with his rhythm work and vocals). Band is very tight. Jerry floats over the first solo with gossamer. Also gets pretty trippy at the end.
