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!

Jerry's MIDI will take you to a safe place. Vinny can't be denied! I consider this song to be Bobby's best when it comes to rock n' roll jamming and he brings the familiar crunch of this era. WAH-wah-wah-wah-WAH!

If there were a SBD of the electric sets this show would be much better received. Vicious TMNS (listen to Ace during the build up!) but it doesn't stop there.... The setlist fills most of my needs and the band delivers!

So there isn't a SBD.... Get over it and listen to Jerry lead the band through a bouncy parade of explosions! Weir firing from a revolver of sound and the drummers undeniably contribute
