Wicked dark star<dew, no question this is one of the best versions of the year. The range of sound is incredible They play as soft and as loud as they can and balance the song perfectly providing an absolutely perfect final crescendo.

Polished and ripping version from a great dicks pick.

Portland Memorial Coliseum

IMHO the song can't get much better then how they played it on this night. Whole show presents the band in top form and this rat is right up there with the truckin' as the highlights from the performance.
