I've never been so confident that a submission this late in the project will bring you thunderous joy! CRANK IT UP!!

My favorite of the year. Not the longest but it's just performed tight!

Night after top voted version and after sampling back to back I gotta go with this one, Jerry power riff galore to power home

Right up with 10/18 for craziest version of the year. So much lightning

Killer 3 minute jam closes this one out. Just exactly things.

The 3 night run in Chicago 1/30-2/1 is some of the best GD of all time. This is what winter in the midwest sounds like.

IMO a top 5 for sure. Full of sound and chaos.

This is not a stand alone version a roaring Stella legit segues into this pleasing FT. Really high grade shit! Love Bobby's complimentary playing along with the very mean and proud tone omitting out of JG's guitar. God damn what a climatic middle and ending jam. 10/10 shit right here. Shocked i'm new to this craziness.
