This whole show is amazing. The high energy persists as they torch this version.

This is by far one of the best. Jer and Brent each take killer sols. This version continues the high energy from the Touch closer. Under-rated show

This one is a beaut.
Caution

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.
