Some really nimble guitar work by Jerry. Ripping version

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

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!

WOW dude, nailed it with the Donna description. She does belt out something like car tires in a parking garage, but this stand alone version is very solid. Dig Jerry's tone early on. I scooped this show a while back, but admittedly skipped right to the Eyes. Nice to hear this
