The vocals for Donna are low on the recording but the rest of the band are so tight this version really kicks ass!

How can you hate any version where Brent is just totally invested?

You only get about the half the song in the recording but the band is awesome sounding and the audience is going insane!

Really heavy on Brent's synth at the beginning on the recording, which isn't a bad thing. Great vocal play with Jerry, Bob, & Brent.

Nice light and bouncy version. Jerry is spot on with his lyrics. The boys sound like they're having fun.

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!
