Hard-charging, uptempo version. Emphatic. Interesting ideas from Phil.

Listen to Phil on this. I love how when you least expect it, he reinvents how to play a song.

Surprised this isn't on here yet. Great mid-'80s plaintive vocals by Jerry, victorious solo.

Jerry is wide awake in this jam. The way he starts it is exceptional.

The space into So What is great. The one after drums is even better. Jerry and Bobby get into something.
