Dark with stanky Jerry riffs over Bobby whammy work. Right in my wheelhouse but might not be everyone’s cup of tea.

Whole band flexes their muscles on this one - press play and watch the room spin.

Lusk Field House - State University Of New York

Crooning, crunchy, cranky, springy, thumpy, distorted, awesomeness - killer this one is. Jer's vocal work is top notch.

Yeah very different and at 6:50 mark sounds like Jerry references another song's melody that some here might know - cool stuff. +1

Some tape chaw on the sbd but it does not get in the way of the fine little nugget of kickass jam.

Just listen to the drum intro and you will know that this shapes up into a killer '71 NFA .... nicely stretched out jamming into GDRFB that is the tits. And indeed Phil bombs his bass cabinet at the end of the reprise and an entire block of the Bronx went dark.
