More insane back and forth between Bobby and Jerry and Brent.

Really rips. Wish there were finer copies of this show, but compared to how we used to listen on 23rd generation TDK tapes...LOL! S'all good....

Really, really nice. Jerry is into every line and note, even if the song is not yet fully formed or even finished and maybe a little bit of a mess.... Historic. Listen to the crowd, noticeably quiet at the start and at the refrain of "We will get by, we will survive!" the howls and roars begin, even though it's their first time hearing it. Great show. The fall of '82 is pretty much underrated.
