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

Gem buried waaay down the list - Jer delivers a solo that feels like he just barely pulls a rabbit out of the hat ... works for me.

Deliberate molasses baked treat...no hurry delivery with the seats tilted waay back, shades on, rolling along at 7mph. yes it 's that good.

About as close as I have ever heard the gang play Soul Sacrifice. Cool.
