The slower tempo here lets Jerry and Keith stretch out some during their solos.

Startled not to find this here. Def. best of Palladium run, and can stand toe to toe with the rest of the month.

fantastic version with great Bobby/Donna. Everyone else is just trying to match their emotional performances.

Oh man, I can't believe I haven't listened to this DP yet! Stellar stuff, my favorite stand alone version.

We need to get this fixed. It's been submitted a bunch of times and others have voted for others of those. This one should have like 16 votes.

Hell yes! nice punctuations from Mickey, Cooks for a while then Jerry takes off. Quite funky. Massive peak. Melting transition into >

Bobby really stands out here (both with his rhythm work and vocals). Band is very tight. Jerry floats over the first solo with gossamer. Also gets pretty trippy at the end.
