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

A primo goto for seat of the pants jamming and "almost" over the cliff peaking - If you like TOG's - this one RIPS and is as good as it gets. Hartford is more strummy in general and this is way more jammy/picking imho. Both are great but there's something in the tempo here and Brent is right there with Jer on this night.

I'm partial to 83's Scar>Fires with Philly 4/20 being my favorite of that year - I'll second that this one is for the ages - just freaking GREAT. Should be me much higher! +1
