People love to hate on Brent, but if you want to hear a sprited performance, this is it.

Also: it is often an egregious Jerry flub that leads to these types of anomaly versions of gold. He knows he fucked up, and he is determined to make you forget it, and you know what? He wins!

Phil bombs are fun, absolutely, and for that this show needs to be heard. After that check out the 4-6-87 Jack Straw if you want pure rabid Easy Coast manic energy Dead.

This version continues to give and give....To comment on the comments: make the time to listen, you came here for the best! So often on this site my favorites are the 5th or 6th ranked....so if you are reading this, go listen. It's that good.

Stupidly good version, from an epic show..the LLR is a must as well.
