The Palladium

In most ways typical of era but I wanted to note it for how fine Donna's voice is throughout this one.

Nice pacing with good energy. Playing is good with exception of Bobby's slide solo, which falls into that period of out of tune passion.

This is a really smoking version. The playing is great with high intensity and energy.

Nice transition from the drums. Good energy and firm attitude towards the song. Crowd enjoying it very much. Nice fading at the end.

So quiet and soft in the beginning, yet holding a beautiful intensity, with a fine buildup and finishing with a soft come down. Nicely done.

This is quite nice. All the pieces are good and the Betty board sound is outstanding. A shorter version but nice and tight throughout.

I like this version in part because Donna sings the chorus throughout the song. It adds nicely and it's the only time that occurred, as far as I can tell.

Holy Smokes they grind on this one for a good long time. Jerry is really burning on this.
