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
