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!

There's just a litte cheesy chriping synth...outside of that this Bird is jumpy,agressive, and probably cracked my top 5

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.
