April '78 goodness right here. This band's ability to shift dynamics from quiet to rock 'n roll loudness never ceases to amaze me

Jerry sings with emotion, and the first solo is a beauty..

Smoking Deal! Jerry’s guitar tone in 1983 was remarkable

Fantastic. Very brief Slipknot! tease towards the end. The segue into NFA is killer

The peak at the end of the jam is glorious.

Holy god. If a band were to spontaneously combust during a performance, it would sound like this.

Balls out intensity, dripping with heavy Jerry wah-wah goodness, and no Donna wailing. Fantastic version

jztjnz I definitely give them props for mixing it up, but in my opinion this is a song that is heavily reliant on that in-the-pocket 4/4 groove. I can’t fault them for trying though, which is what we all love about this band. Sometimes it just doesn’t work out (to my ears, anyway).
