Bouncy as they come, the crowd goes crazy and Jerry just sounds like he's having fun

Beefy C.C. Rider, Brent laying on the hammond, a listenable slide solo by Bobby, all tied together with some Phil Bombs

Out of Hell in a Bucket, this one is fueled by Brent dancing all over the Hammond. HIGH energy

Epic as ever. Jerry shred-fest, Bobby sending it on the vocals, Brent laying on the hammond. They bring it down before one more eruption to end it.

Jerry low in the mix but is ripping it up, Keith really shines in this one, doesn’t miss a note

Coming here after listening to the 30 Days of Dead today - man Jerry’s solo was serene with such a beautiful gentle ending

First off, Jerry going all in on the vocals, gorgeous. Second, Pig is truly shining on the organ - he's all over this show and it's wonderful. Third - near perfect band dynamics bringing this one up from the ashes
