Totally hidden gem here. Beautiful long jam at the end of Lady With a Fan and segues perfectly into PITB.

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).
