ambitious, abstract, and involved in the multi-dimensional trappings. Plenty of curiosity but tethered to that amazing 2nd-set logic

Yeah heady bobby intro. Absolute, unhinged E72 mania, they had only been playing He's Gone for weeks. It was a definitive track for them, probably my favorite tune that they do, actually.

Was listening to this gig from 47 yrs ago today while making breakfast and needed to call attention to the "Slipknot" quote at 5:17. Seems some other heads already know whats up.... The seeds of GD compositions lie in the alchemy of pure live jamming. Edit oh wow, much less subtle dip into slipknot right at the 10 minute mark. just awesome.
