In a song that is typically a highlight reel, this version is no different. Beautiful jam

Bobby throws some excellent chaw on the vocals. My go-to for an underrated song

Vocals are sweeter than honey, which lead to a bluesy solo that bleeds effortlessly into TOO. Very nice

A vibrant and bouncy version. Not a shredder like some other versions of the era, but the band is shining very brightly on this one

Whoah, this one is MASSIVE. Jerry crazy nimble on the fret board, and the Rhythm Devils are completely out of control. This is a shot of pure adrenaline.

Commenting again, this one needs WAY more dap. Bobby disgustingly growling the lyrics in a manner so fitting it would make Ol' Dirty Bastard grin grimily from beyond the grave. Then, the jam hits double time procession and gets super creative and full-band collaborative. Really choice

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Ok, i am apparently far from done shouting about this show. This PITB is a wonderful, melodic soupy jam, that cosmically converges into a perfect pre-drums segment. One of the better 80's versions i have heard
