This is the 3rd song of 6 played that usually opens a first set. This is the last Bama for almost 5 years. Smokin version at that!

Have always loved this first set. This is the second of 6 songs that are usually openers. The mid-jam is shredded by Jer and Brent. Awesome version

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.
