Keith's fills really stand out. More of an elastic bouncy version than leaden thumping one.

Played and sung like they really mean it. This one's got that "X factor."

Such a pure, sparkling, exuberant version. I’m in love.

I’m with the yeasayers on this one. This magnificent version is perhaps my favorite of the year. It stays remarkably engaging throughout. Several of its individual jamming episodes alone would put this one high on the list, but taken together? This is the real deal.

Includes some jamming in D before the transition to China Doll. Stellar version from an A-grade show.

The execution here is just about pristine.
