Featured on day 8 of the 2018 iteration of 30 days of Dead. A very intense and dancy version. I actual was quite enjoying Vince's input to this version. He does a bunch of cool "latinish" fills in this one. Phil drives this one hard too.

Albeit on the shorter side, this version contains a really cool and unique segue into Good Lovin'. Worth checking out.

This version really brings me to that place. Checks all the right boxes. Perfect.
