Great energy on this Estimated, and a great jam to go along with it. Solid dynamics by the band

Once again Jerry adding a little extra "mph" on the vocals, this is a really great Candyman

Jerry goes full send on the vocals, a really really raunchy 90 version

Not too fast, not too slow. Jerry takes his time with this one, it’s smooth as can be

Fall 79 is a perfect showcase for Brent working out his lead vocals and adding all sorts of flavor as the band heads off into the next decade.

This one slowly chugs with a feeling of impending doom with the story

I must be a stranger to late 74 FOTD's but this groove is sick!

This really REALLY rips. Agreed ^ the recording quality is really stellar. Pig is HOT, Phil is chunky and phat, Bobby takes a solo that's fast and tight, and Jerry comes in and takes it away, shredding it up. This is a must listen

First DS without TC I believe? Him missing leaves a little bit of a whole in this one, but ironically TOTALLY adds to the ambience and quiet parts of the jam. Spooky.
