Rare, rootsy and spare reading. The one in '79 when Jer's mic blew had more torque.

6 headed octopus on drums, still the best 4 mins of beat down I have heard from the RD's. This hits my sweet spot every time and yeah I think very worthy of being way more up the ladder, plus that Other One to follow ain't so bad either hahaha.
