Horns!! Let it Grow is already on here but the Whole suite needs love. When the horns come in you can't help but smile. Pure and beautiful.

Stunning version. Sung with lots of passion, and during the solo, Jerry lets Wolf run loose and lets her howl. Great version from a great show!

This particular performance has the same energy as the song Eye of The Tiger in the best way possible. No idea why my brain works like that but let me know if anyone else feels the same with this particular performance Lol. Kickass version that makes you feel like you're boxing ring fighting for your life as you come out triumphant. Love Bobby's guitar work on this, and oh Jerry..just a blistering barn burning solo. Bluesyyyyyyy

Great pick Carrion. Love that you can hear very clearly the new direction the band is taking here. I love how encouraging the crowd is on this one as well, little "woos" for a sharp Jerry lick here and there, solid solid version that goes into an all timer of a Hard to Handle.

Giving me chills. Goosebump inducing version. What mature songwriting. To put into perspective how they sounded a year earlier, they have matured as musicians so fast in such a short amount of time. I love 71 for how raw it can be. Hits different.

Silky smooth. Blistering licks all throughout which makes this song so fun to listen to.
