Perfect execution, akin to the Europe '72 version in terms of precision, Kreutzzman is all over the kit. Fiery Garcia licks reaching incredible peaks

Oh my, the band interplay is absolutely top notch and so mature. Ultimate boogie-gusto, Jerry givin' his all and singin' with soul. Great shit.

This blew my mind at the movies, the vocal jam at the end was insane on the big screen

Love the AUD. They offer something that a soundboard simply can't.

Just blows my mind everytime. I only listen to this thing like a few times a year, everytime I listen I hear new stuff I didn't pick up on last time

Killer version. sadly the SBD's of the early 80's are piles of shit and do not capture the energy felt inside of a venue. They sound so flat. If you could record the noise of a can of soda thats been sitting out for 5 years, this would be it. If Betty stuck around for a lil longer, the early 80's would've sounded as it should've sounded. Great version though. Love this tune

Haha just pokin' some fun man, Pig would be the first one to tell you himself he sure as hell wasn't the best. and anyone who hates Vince's contribution to the band can suck it. He had some great contributions to some great jams. However, the way Pig could rave up an auditorium is unbelievable
