This is when I thought the show locked in.

Jerry's just on fire throughout this whole show. They jam the beginning for a while before the first verse at a nice, brisk clip.

Bit slower than the ones I usually groove on, but Jerry's bounce started off a very fine day for me.

Nice shuffle. Jerry and Donna's vocals on this sound great (how many times can you find that?)

Not the best ever, but the live premiere. Listen to the AUD to hear the crowd flip!

Great version. Lots to unpack in this one, and on first listen, I can hear the ABB influence.

Points for its place in the sequence, the blistering guitar runs, and Keith being on fire.

grendel nailed this one. Hop on board this one! (edit) Sorry, didn't want to disrespect anyone else who commented, it was just that comment that really helped me unlock this version. You all have great taste!
