Metropolitan Sports Center

The SBD I scooped had a Wang Dang Doodle-ish soundcheck that came with it. Some pretty slinky shit. Worth checking if you can track it down

Patient build into a soaring version. Glides nicely into a Playin' Reprise

Massive version! Was spinning on the treadmill at the gym and felt like I was going to run through the wall. Serious way to open a show!

Great call, cgarces. An incubator, early phase Playing, that hits the cosmos quickly. Great energy!!

Haha, nice, cgarces! I plan on posting 2,318 versions of 'crowd noise.' The race is on... But seriously, how/why did art become a competition?

May not be note perfect, but the build, the tension and release, and the massive finish make this one really special. Jerry is fanning the flames hard at the ending. Perfectly paced throughout

Great call on the Spectrum version, '67 - very confident effort from the boys. Jerry and Brent are especially dialed in. The end jam drips slowly into measured madness before sliding into Terrapin. Props
