Very heady jam segment in this one. Show is a sleeper from May

The latter half of a great on-two punch to kick off the show (1/2 step preceding), this Cassidy is an absolute bute. Bob/Jer communication is tight

Jerry rips a sick intro solo. Hyped up energy

The 'butt sweat' meter is off the charts for this. Great Brent work and killer peak

Funky stuff. Jerry makes some excellent licks and Brent has fine supporting contributions. Heady, for sure

Rare that you see a comment that just says "garbage" without any justification. This show is one of the few that I go back to from '95, so I listened to this version again with a critical ear. To me, the boys sound on. Bobby crushes the vocals, Jerry is dexterous and nimble with his leads, the band swells nicely at the peak/conclusion. Sure, it's not '72 era sound, but it's still a solid version.

Goddamn, no matter how many times I spin this one, it still SLAPS. Such a triumphant peak...

The outro jam from this gets super mellow, tingling, then boys start gearing it right back up to spin effortlessly into NFA closing. Very choice version
