"Midnight Rambler" was abandoned for a time in the 80s, but it came back with a vengeance in 1999 and the Licks Tour. The definitive "modern version" is on the MSG show from Four Flicks--simply awesome--perfect tempo, perfect tone, perfect performance by MJ--threatening, but not overboard. This is becoming my favorite version ever, because you see them at work, and Keith & Ronnie prove that they still have the chops to carry the song as it should be played--down & dirty, and screw virtuosity.
