Keith (and everybody) is so on point in this twangy humdinger.

It's a great little tune when they play it like they did in summer '73.

I think this might be the best of fall ’77! Really do not miss this one.

A really terrific version of a song I don’t ordinarily care much about. One for the summer ’90 highlight reel.

Busy, clanging Slipknot! here. Very interesting and worthy of multiple listens.

There are obvious flaws — it takes them a few moments to get on the same beat — but this weird, jagged version is like no other I’ve heard. A great example of whatever the fuck was going on in ’78 that made it so different from every other year.

Fresh, rowdy, and fast. The way the band (mostly) keeps this from going off the rails is both thrilling and impressive.
