Awesome near 7 minute Playin that starts to go out there as it would much more in a few months. Really interesting period for the band imo

legendary intro, made my day before even starting the show! (And this song rocks in all it's acoustic glory)

Don't like this one as much as 5/19 but that might be because of the segue that one comes out of.... This NFA>GDTRFB and the WRS>DS>China Doll make for a monster second set here. Incredible transition out of NFA, though, might be one of the best I've ever heard

Super laid back, a new favorite.... Just so damn smooth! And that transition into Dark Star is incredible. A must listen!
