In most ways typical of era but I wanted to note it for how fine Donna's voice is throughout this one.

Nice pacing with good energy. Playing is good with exception of Bobby's slide solo, which falls into that period of out of tune passion.

This is a really smoking version. The playing is great with high intensity and energy.

Nice transition from the drums. Good energy and firm attitude towards the song. Crowd enjoying it very much. Nice fading at the end.

always my favorite version. I love the buildup and finish. Chaotic yet clean and organized.

Everybody is on in this version, but Bobby really shines.

Oh, this is nice. Not the best, but the soft intensity of band enjoying playing the song. The mix of the organ and piano is fun.

Wow, low number of votes. This is near Europe '72 level. Pushes towards beautiful, sweet ordered chaos.
