Even is the summer of 1995, they were able to hold it together for two minutes and thirty-seven seconds.

Cool Phil bumps throughout. Jerry's solo is short but sweet.

1977 isn't overrated? Take a listen to Estimated from 5/22 and 5/25 - both in the top 5 overall. Then listen to the versions from 1991 as a comparison. Then check the comments. Are these two versions' rankings bloated by blind worshipers of the all-mighty 1977?

The bias that people have on this site for 1977 nauseates me. This version isn't better than the top 5 for 1973 or the top 5 for 1974. It sickens me to think that people are incapable of listening to the music play. 1977 is the most over-hyped year and it all goes back to the old days of tape trading and 1977 had the best sound quality, so people equated that with 1977 having the best music. It shows how narrow-minded Heads really are.
