One of those heady, gritty early 80's Duprees. Also Jerry nails the lyrics! No fumbles at all, astonishing really

Lovely show opener, mix is a bit wonky at first but Phil is all over it. Great show all in all!

Also just a fun fact only one of three Samson show openers, the others being 4/10/83 and 5/26/93. All very very different eras for the band
