An extra handful of stank on the end jam puts this well above a "normal" version. Definitely worth checking out

I've commented earlier on the NFA portion of this sandy, but this GDTRFB is a considerably meaty portion as well! Very hot ish

This is my favorite of all the wolves. So crisp and vibrant. This song serves its role as a first set vibe booster in the best possible way. This version is a “glue guy” performance reason why this is an all-time show
