Dire Wolf

Nassau Coliseum

First Dire Wolf of the Vince era - and the playing kills as always. Just a line is butchered but a great rendition of this campfire song regardless

Alabama Getaway

Holy shit HOT Alabama despite the mix issues as typical with the first song. One of the best??? Underrated for sure standing at 5 votes as of me writing this

Really great 2nd set opening Terrapin with great jamming and an interesting segue into Dewimmina
