Jerry's voice is strained but the playing is exceptional!

This tasty grilled cheese and tomato sandwich envelops you with melty cheese that drips perfectly into China Doll and even more perfectly back into PITB. Gives you some nice thick slices of tomato during drums > space and then finally a buttery and toasty segue back to PITB, ending it properly.

The overall show is just ok, but the 1st set opening sequence is worth checking out.
