Amazed I get to submit this, especially from such a highly-renowned show. One of the best I've heard!

Very strong encore version at a great, seemingly underrated show.

Last piece of this brilliant show to be submitted. Billy unleashes some wild, tribal bashing to cleanse our palette between DS and Eyes

^Couldn't have said it better myself, Carrion_Crow! Ego death is an experience you can't possibly explain, but a great "Black Peter" like this sure comes close...

Keith really shines on this one, followed by Phil playing wingman in Pig's stead heading into intermission...
