The drumming and everything else on this song is wild. Just energy and mastery of their instrument. The lyrics are wild too.

These are no imposters. The real band at the height of their powers. Bruce is driving the rhythm here... amazing intensity... Pete's insane...stunning and one of Elvis' darkest tunes. Love it.

The drummer kills in here, is so tight

Love the underlying tension is this song.

BRUCE & PETE!

Can't agree more

Pete Thomas is absolutely phenomenal in this song

Oh God, I am sooo old.

The sound quality completely covers the magical bass line, and whoever was shooting the video was criminally negligent by omitting shots of The Attractions doing their thing.

You're daft -- do you know how lucky we are to have this artifact from almost 45 years ago when videotape equipment was primitive at best.

Bruce and Pete are so tight. I always assumed they were brothers.
