2 Drummer breakbeat attack with Phil throwing down the rope a dope and Jer firing darts - this one's lively.

Admittedly not a favorite tune for me but this is super crispy - laconic delivery by Weir w/ Jer's picking and tone perfection. Whole show is massive.

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.

If you like them fast this'll scratch your itch fer sure...Jer's vox is toast but as is often the case he made up for it with firey fretboard gymnastics.

I'm with Erns - very much like the *idea* of this and want for it to be great, which I guess it is on it's own terms as a "sit in Eyes" BUT in COMPARISION TO some of the greats from '73-74? Respectfully - no....
