Here's how great this one is: I had to listen to it twice and I still can't figure out what makes it great. But it is.

Everyone sounds great on this outrageous version. Check out Brent's vocals and playing, as well as Bobby's playing. Burning.

It's alarming when they lose the form, especially in a simple tune like this. It is interesting when they try to put the train back on the tracks though - the end here sounds like pure, desperate survival.

Monster, outrageous solo by Jerry

The jam after Saint is great, Bobby leading the way, Jerry burning. Nice, weird Phil-Bobby jam leading into drums

Jerry's solos are great on this. Check it out. Also love how he puts on the Mutron in the coda
