Convincing vocal performance by Jer. Especially second verse.

Cumberland County Civic Center

Rowdy, spirited version. Jerry not quite done with it when everyone else is.

Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

Listen to Phil on this one. Then listen to Bobby.

Morning Dew

The Fox theater

OK, I'll say it: "I can't believe this isn't on here." Majestic, powerful MD. Jerry on a mission. Bobby playing clippety-cloppety sounds in the coda.

The false start on the fourth chorus of the solo is a thing Jerry does that I love so much

If you like your Altheas angry, bitter, and cutting, as opposed to mellow, this is the one for you. I love them all and this one is amazing. Surprised it's not higher.

Metropolitan Sports Center

Burning version. Jerry's last solo is fantastic. Listen to the crowd lose their minds when he goes full Chuck Berry in his last chorus.
Franklin's Tower
May 30, 1980
Milwaukee Auditorium

Jerry tries some very unique approaches during the solos and builds up lots of drama

Nassau Coliseum

The way Jerry slowly turns up the heat in the last solo is amazing. You don't know what's happening until it's over.
