Solid, strident version. Bobby and Phil take on the rowdies with a cool rap after, too. Great first set all around.

Punk rock version, responding to an aggressive Detroit crowd. "Relax man, we don't respond to that shit" sez Jerry.

Jumped up, pushing against the pulse. Seems like the rowdy crowd inspired our boys here. Gritty, almost aggressive vibe.

Strong pulse and Jerry giving it his all, vocally and instrumentally. Why doesn't this show have more love? Everything in the set is just slaying it.

Hard driver kicking off the show with Billy firing on all 8 cylinders. Mixer laureate C. Miller gives us a gem here, good copy after 1:10 of FM warble

Jerry's precision fretwork all over around under and through Bobby's vocal sections make this one a favorite for me. Perfect guitar fillagree.

Wow. No like, "WOW", oh man. Mind blown, totally wow, man. Just wow.

Deeply inventive. The influence of Miles is there, along with a other "fusion" music of the time. So many places in this one, the Scarlet is just glorious in between. And yes, the outro is jump out of your chair hand-clappingly good.

Transition has some beautifully inventive rhythmic interplay between Jerry and Phil bridging the two songs nicely.

Kicks hard and doesn't disappoint. High energy at the top of a mind-melting 2nd set jam-a-thon.
