This is one of the best live performances on KZitem. Love this version so much more than the fairly dry studio recording. Brilliant. Adele Bertei is so cute and has a fun history. In her solo you can hear a little of how the song was originally written for Michael Jackson, who apparently just ignored it.

Michael actually said he liked the drums when Dolby approached him after not hearing back for a few weeks (this was likely in 1983, when Thrilled was the absolute hottest shit). Michael said he liked the drums. Then Dolby recorded it for the better.

Matthew Seligman wasn't present unfortunately. And the bass on the album version is also sequenced. This sounds like the original part, so I got no problems with it. If it works, it works.
