Rare, rootsy and spare reading. The one in '79 when Jer's mic blew had more torque.

Jer takes what appears to be a laid back approach here and then throws CRAZY fills all over the this one - sheesh - have never heard one like this ... can't tell if he carved a fatty at the break or just was in a good mood... the S+D that follows is toxic so maybe it was the powder.
