Only a few months old but an early passionate outro to this one.

Had to check myself a few times when I didn't see this one under the date. Listen and vote!

Had to up vote this one. Despite it being an AUD tape the instruments sound pretty clear especially for the outro on this one. That envelope filter just sounds so bad ass and Jerry hypnotizes me in different ways each time.

Despite the quality of the AUD tape you can still hear the band grooving throughout and Jerry's leads are killer. Oh to have been there in person. I need to get my hands on the box set release.

I can’t believe how far I had to scroll for this version. I actually enjoy it especially for late 80s. I think it needs a little more love guys.

Jerry's vocals sound great on this version and some of his phrasing is a little different than I had heard before which makes it special to me. The fanning towards the end helps bring you back to earth. By far my favorite 80's MD. I have heard there are other good MD's from the 80's so if anyone would like to throw them out please feel free.

Still searching for my all time BP. This is up towards the top for me which is ironic that its towards the bottom of this list. I guess that means I have more BP hidden gems to look for that may not be the popular vote.
