Short, but listen to crowd freak out when the riff starts. Solid show on Lennon's birthday.

The first time I heard this it scared the hell out of me. Intense playing!

Circled back around to this one apparently! Very good version with a great transition. Nice matrix of this cures what ails ya.

Still surprised to see that this has gotten no love! First ever 1/2 Step > Franklins and it's a fire version! Great matrix of this, give it an ear.
