Last ever use of the "Sweet Suzie" line...I think. Subdued, but there. Nice version taboot.

odd spacy intro. a tad slower and much less predecitable than latter era versions. smooth as 18 y/o scotch.

A unique, percussive version brought to life by the Nevilles. Despite some vocal flubs (it is, after all, an 86 show) an awesome, jammy performance from a solid show in an otherwise down year.

This one NEEDS to get closer to the top. It is abject madness.

Like all great GD cuts, it doesn't hurry. The jam takes its sweet time without meandering, yet never feels hurried.
