Jerry is a sugary sweet beverage on a hot day in this one. Super, super smooth

Great fills from Keith in this one. Jerry tackles the descending final guitar notes beautifully as well

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
