Shocked this wasn't here. Went to vote for it and couldn't find it. Excellent version. Please listen.

Terrapin Station

RANT ALERT!!!!! rarely do I indulge in pedantry or slamming other views, BUT in no way is the Swing version better than this terrapin. I love my fellow Heads one and all, and I'm not trying to provoke, but this is clearly the ONE. If the Swing is Mr. Anderson, he's about to get his ass kicked by May 17 (Neo). This needs more votes, or at the very least some serious re-listening. And by the way, I know Cornell is about to be released, and I expect all the songs therein will see a numbers jump, but this and Sporto are both better May shows (and the Fox may be ) than fabled Cornell. Ok, done with rant. Peace everyone,

This is a different beast....or at least what it turns into is. Needs serious listening. GD at its acid drenched best.

This needs some love. Goes into some different zones towards the end.
