Glad you liked it. I never get tired of watching that particular performance. I've probably watched it more than a couple dozen times and always notice different things but really love how Snooks' voice really builds to a crescendo near the end, not to mention his many chops...

Snooks had more than 2,000 songs in his repertoire and always worked without a set list so the band just had to pick up whatever he was laying down.

If you watch the drummer, Kenneth Blevin's face, he's not even sure what song it is at the beginning and doesn't come in right away. But as the groove builds he just can't help but smile.

George Porter's bass lines are a bit down in the mix but they're quite solid as well.

And Snooks, well, he may be blind and playing a Squier, but that man sure could jam and put a ton of soul into that song.
