Torched. Deals at the end were always spot on.

Not as long as 69 versions, but super hot...maybe more focused and better to some.

This is one psychadelic version. Amazing that this show is remastered and crisp. Wild to hear these versions in such good quality.

This one is a beaut.

FYI... this show that should be in everyone's top 10 is 25% off at dead.net. It includes an amazing analysis of the 46 minute DS that is spot on and helps with understanding all the themes of the epic DS. This Caution is one of the best, also.

This one is a classic from a classic show.

This DS is not for everyone. I do believe that it requires multiple listens to really respect how complex it is with its multiple themes. I can see after one listen that it may not be for everyone. It does deserve respect in GD lore, though. The first 13 minutes is pure DS theme.
