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

Yowzer - the intensity of the ending cacophony is mesemerizing.. very cool.

This Rider is completely awesome PHIL all over the vocal in a great way Bobby layin off the mic (trouble?) but man the mix shows off his superfine riddim playing and Jerry in fine fettle.

The Other One

Felt Forum, Madison Square Garden

This TOO is the band's expression of string theory from what I gather.... Jaw dropping is an understatement and I think this is the most KICK ASS Mezcali I have heard yet.....Sheesh - careful with this sammie. Deserves way more listens which must result in way more votes imo.
