Fantastic. Very brief Slipknot! tease towards the end. The segue into NFA is killer

Meadowlands Arena

The peak at the end of the jam is glorious.

Holy god. If a band were to spontaneously combust during a performance, it would sound like this.
Greatest Story Ever Told

Aarhus University

Balls out intensity, dripping with heavy Jerry wah-wah goodness, and no Donna wailing. Fantastic version

jztjnz I definitely give them props for mixing it up, but in my opinion this is a song that is heavily reliant on that in-the-pocket 4/4 groove. I can’t fault them for trying though, which is what we all love about this band. Sometimes it just doesn’t work out (to my ears, anyway).
