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.

Can't explain, but the groove is sweet.

I love this show and of course this epic Dew. Jer is great lyrically. The version is gentle when it needs to be. Jer throttles the final solo, but id like to mention that Phil is thick on this version. Huge 8 minute outro that has extreme patience and build up until the monster load is blown. Last thing like it was 77. Three 77 versions and 87 MSG are better and that's it.

Lovin this version. Still pretty focused for being 46 minutes. Probably should be top 3.
