Lift off during Jerry's solo - maybe some celebratory barkers too before the show.

'71 Losers are the raw, real deal. Biting, snakey leads with a despaired vocal delivery.

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.
