Gold Here. SUBLIME - this is where all the soft touches come together. Bob is especially deft with the underlying patterns. Phil is perfect.

I'm a sucker for China Dolls - this one has Jerry delivering very dreamy vocals on this one.

GTFO MASSIVE - Jerry CRACKS THE SKY and then stomps on the pieces -this is exhausting....the cut is ghastly but wtf. check the murder records for a mass killing on this date or 5/11 that'll solve it.

This feels like barely surviving a massive swordfight - the band just attacked the audience - holy shit. ps not sure if this 5/11 I listened to both and they are the same show... whatever check it out and protect yourself.
