Wolf's tone is even killer on Mama. I have no problem saying this is best ever.

It's a nice one, but the Cap version is the definitive. Listen for yourself.

Hot version with an Easy Answers in it. The jam out of Easy Answers flat out smokes.

Could do no wrong at this show...even the Miracle smokes. This one blows away 90% of all the versions out there.

Cool opener

It's another O1 that has some awesome stuff, but then deteriorates for 7 minutes. It's one of those things that when a non dead head hears....further pushes them away. At one point in the last 4 minutes, it sounds like someone is ripping the balls off an elephant. I'm pretty sure Grendel would agree????

Great jamming. Probably worthy of a few more votes like most of the show. Best tune of the night!
