Has anyone heard TJ's "Show Me" backed by Journey and The Tower Of Power Horns? (followed by "Crossroads", TJ trades verses with Steve Perry and Greg Rolie, eat your heart out Eric Clapton) It blows the doors off the studio version. WOO-HOO!!
Later,
Steve

I ALWAYS wanted to hear Tommy do "Joe Tex's song "Show Me", from his first

start me to talkin' ". Another funkier song.
