I usually don't care about this song, but this is a superior take. Highlights are the ripping solo and agreeable vocals throughout.

The reason we all love 1970 and the two set acoustic/electric format. Don't miss the NRPS set from this night either!

Opening of a very famous show. It's like you're in the balcony with the AUD.

Nice energy on this. Don't miss the birthday celebration for the monitor guy either.

So far, I haven't heard a bad song from this show. This version of "Loser" is a bit faster than I usually like it (I prefer versions where the tempo is closer to a dirge), but there's a really nice cowboy-swagger thing going on here.

It's got a vote from me. Nice reading of this song.
