The previous night's version was tasty, but this one is delicious. The nomination for this one is long overdue. The whole show is quintessential '76

Opens the first electric set from the last (and best) show from the 8 night run at NYC's Radio City Music Hall. Its nomination is long overdue!

Alert! This one not a throw-away. The best one of '74, no foolin'. Played with a perfect balance of gusto, gumption & grit.

Inspired.

High octane here.. My only quibble is that Bobby is a little to eager to come in on the verses, cutting off what could have been longer and hotter jamming. Even worse, he botches the lyrics. But no matter, the boys are tight and locked-in here, and this version still crackles with energy.

For me, 1981 is the all-around best year for Althea, and this one does not disappoint!
