SHOCKED this one wasn't mentioned yet. Even with the crushing cut out in the SBDs, this version still stands at the top

Very hot, tight jam segment. Song has the best lyric ever written: "Let your life proceed by it's own design"

That's a great story, Carrion, and glad you made it out alive with your mental faculties (relatively) intact! Super weird version and one that would have thrown me for a serious cerebral loop in person, for sure. The ensuing Comes a Time (a real bute) must have been a much needed respite, turning night to day.
