Don’t know whether i like this or the one from 9/7 better but my god the last jam here is so spectacularly played, so aggressive yet Eyesy smooth and calm. Just best ever GD right here, wow. I cannot eloquently put into words what this one does for me. Just gotta put it on And enjoy

Fantastic earlier version. Not as long and epic as it would become, but I'd recommend checking this one out for Sugaree fans.

Probably one of the best China Cat + transition + Feelin' Groovy jams ever, and the Rider is awesome and energy-packed too! Can't miss this one. From an all-time show too

OMG. no words. Beautiful transition from Estimated into a phenomenally loooong intro jam and the rest of this song is on fire!!!!! Can’t believe I’m just now finding this
