Very smoking version that's a fair representation of the entire show. Great energy all night!

It's just played really well. The entire show is good but nothing better than an A-. Show was heavy in my rotation in youth. A+ SBD. Nice CRS opener!

Played in hyper speed and everything still sounds just exactly perfect. A great way to end a set in any era

Damn! Unhealthy JG really kicks ass sometimes! Excellent bouncy >, Jer sings along in 'laid down last night.' verse - Rider is simply out for blood!

Have been a fan of this the moment I heard it. Aggressive!

If you like Jerry playing slide the only other version that comes to mind is 1/22/78. It's not as complete as Cornell, but there's like a 20 second stretch where Bobby and Jerry both start playing slide creating one hell of a trip.

Those two April '91 shows in Atlanta gave an audience a once and a lifetime to hear this band sound remotely like it again. The Stagger and Deal from this same show are both equally as noisy violence

Negligibly underrated, I guess AUDs don't have any ass kickers in their cataloge..
