They are just "on" this show. Killer Masterpiece. Great energy.

There's something about the aging in Jerry's voice that gives the song extra gravitas.

Real crisp version. Brent sounds like he's dropping pixie dust.

I remember being at this show and joking with my buddy about the that the song being played meant the band was dissolving. It still bugs me.

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

Meadowlands Arena

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!
