Bobby seems to be so on this night. Everybody seems to be taking his lead so far.

Heard this last night on the XM Dead Channel. Just classic high energy rock n roll!

Incredible duel between Jerry and Brent Jams! There is nothing in this world like that Hammond organ mixed with Jerry's MIDI

Jerry takes an energetic Scarlet into a mellow jazzy outro into a smooth transition into Fire then Phil starts raising the energy and the Fire grows..

Perfection in the transition and they carry the energy from Sugar Mag into a really spirited Scarlet.

Between the Phil bombs and the interplay with Jerry, Bob, and Brent, I raised my blood pressure about 30 points by the 4 minute mark. An absolute killer version!

How have I slept on this show for this long? Thanks for waking me up! Great version to kick off a great show.

This version is like a thoroughbred running the Belmont. Comes out of the gate at a good clip. Makes a sprint down the back stretch (The Other One) and then eases up a little only to just crush it down the homestretch and win by 10 lengths. Freaking awesome!
