Holy cow. Wow. Scorches. So does the Candyman. And this is followed by a beautiful Masterpiece.

First one after Brent's death. First one with Bruce being officially part of the gang. Pretty significant. Felt like we'd probably survive...

Fiery, galloping build up. Maybe this was overshadowed by the 9/19 version, but this one rips.

The Cryptical Envelopment Coda/Reprise builds to blistering beauty....About as powerful as 5/2/70, 2/28/69, 2/22/69, and all the rest of the best, some of the finest moments in GD history, those Cryptical reprises..... especially the last few minutes of this one!!!
