Grimy, gritty dark night of the soul 'styled WF. This hits just right with all the rusty, jagged edges. Check out Spring tour for more.

Hey Grendel - I gotta question for you check out the Ventura 7/14/85 NFA sometime and at 2:08 Bobby starts it and Jer and Brent jump on it. This riff has driven me crazy - it's short but distinct - I think it's old from the 50's or early 60's (this whole version is stellar for mid 80's btw). I am asking you since I think we both "hear" things but then as my wife has told me maybe I am just nuts.

Dig the sentiment but can't get on this one maybe will let it lie and come back to it... while the Exit Jam > Spanish jam segment is killer. I wanna know if anyone knows of one like 11/22/72 my favorite by a long shot.

One of those versions where the whole band reaches into the thermals .... as CGarces notes the first jam is a beaut.
