W/Branford! Always a pleasure. But Vince really shines with cinematic force on this one, one of the overlooked best.

The bustout. The crowd explosion (check the AUD for this) is one of the best dead moments ever. You WILL feel the moment. (and then trip your face off during the ultra trippy space portion of DS). YEAH!

A diamond in the rough, for sure. Why haven't they added this to the woodstock film? PLEASE edit this in, in ANY form. The dead NEED to be recognized for their part in this historic event, and THIS IS WHY. Totally underrated DS.

Beautiful dark Star in the middle of the Ghetto, a diamond in the city of doom!
