You'll hear voices and see faces in this abstract assault which showcases exceptional group interplay. Bertrando's AUD is VG+.

Winterland Arena

A song that I feel was good in each part of its iteration. Jerry's solo in this version is quite accomplished and kinda goes outside in a sweetly melodic way, something that later in the decade he would maybe abandon in his solo on 'Bertha' but use on that in 'TLEO', albeit slowed down.
