The rippers from June are well-loved, but this version brings just as much heat. Keith and Billy having fun playing with the 3-on-2 Other One rhythm.

Part of the Dancin' sandwich. The outro jam isn't as deep as Cobo Hall two nights later, but it's certainly good enough to be listed here

"What you got to say, Vince?" Vince says it well, Jerry picks out two great solos, and Bobby's slide solo isn't awful!

Hilarious response by Phil to the "Let Phil sing" chants at the top of this show. "Make Phil sing"?

Disco was already dead, but you wouldn't know by listening to this version - very danceable.

Hornsby and Jerry start playing the chug-a-lug Around and Around rhythm after the "Pearly's been true" verse at 6:15, leading into a rocking 2 1/2 minute jam.

"May This Be Love" - Mickey is having some fun with a sample of Hendrix's guitar intro from 2:45-4:30. Then the Neville Bros join at around 7:00 for some excellent percussion jamming. Exceptional Drums!

The way Jerry holds onto his note on "dooooowwnnn" longer than Bobby and Brent. Inspired guitar soloing as well, an exceptional version that should have more votes.

accidentally posted a comment here that should've been for Samson and Delilah. I can tell the difference between Bobby songs, honest! ;-)
