Madison Square Garden

How is there no description for this one?! Whole thing is uptempo imo. Billy's drums fuck up and make a wretched noise. It seems like they might stop the song but nope they get right on goin and do justice to the rest of the tune. Jerry really lights one up during the rio grandeeo solo too >franklins
