Embryonic, unhinged and primal! Tiger lead is positively lacerating, everyone in attendance was split into dust

PEWWWW a face-melter. Holy smokes, that was an amazing stand-alone 70's LIG that had this crowd in the palm of a particularly mischievous and volcanic Dead's hand. A riotous version essential for "face-spacing"
