Kick ass Bama, Phil makes this one

Weir's vocals get spaced

This one clicks and roars, one of my favorites of the year.

Easily one of the most sizzling sickest versions I've heard.

Incredible energy; A+.

This SOTM into He's Gone is a truly mellow experience, like capturing an entire essence in a bottle, of what the band was about at this stage in the game, controlled, non-pretentious, American mellowness. The real greatness for me comes with the transition, the tempo's are nearly the same, so the seamlessness is apparent. However, on the flip side, when looking at this whole Download series, I can't love it, the show doesn't fully do it for me, but it certainly isn't awful, and its probably slightly above-average but for an official release it doesn't hit the spot. A solid run non-the less, nothing jaw-dropping. As a side note: Mr. Williams will surely be missed, a sad moment indeed, this He's Gone has a certain somberness that I feel fits the moment, Garces glad you gave me the hint.

Bouncy, concise, simplified, focused, pinpoint precision.

Played with authority, quiet and meandering, yet also harsh and powerful. You can almost hear the waves crashing up against the docks. Nearly a dirge, but not quite, the outro jam is quite nice as well. A very strong version.

Off the hook outro jamming moving through a multitude of themes varying in creativity, uniqueness, and color, I can say this Truckin' contains that definitive uniqueness that sets it apart. The outro jamming is tight and the sublime drop into Mind Left Body is just so very special.

This is the real deal, a certified smoker. Transition is on fire.
