Jerry's vocal delivery is smooth, Brent's contribution fit the groove nicely, and a heady solo from Jer to boot.

Fantastic! Probably the best of 92, an uplifting dual opener after LTGTR. March 92 was hot!

Autzen Stadium - University of Oregon

Particularly passionate vocal work by Bob and the boys. Jamming strong as well. Barn burner status? Possibly.

Big jam before the first 'bake your bread' line is heady as fuck, and transition seamless; cool album version percussion too.
