Wolf's tone is even killer on Mama. I have no problem saying this is best ever.

It's a nice one, but the Cap version is the definitive. Listen for yourself.

Hot version with an Easy Answers in it. The jam out of Easy Answers flat out smokes.

Could do no wrong at this show...even the Miracle smokes. This one blows away 90% of all the versions out there.

Absolute monster version due to pre-drums spot.

Absolute definitive version....Phil is huge on the digital download. Killer opener....epic transition into Iko and cool reprise later. Way more inspired due to its opener status. Bruce kills it to.

Great call...this show is killer. Maybe the best of the run.

You could call this best ever and it sits at three votes. This show amazes me more and more with each listen. I don't listen to the first set as much as the second, but this set cooks from probably the best Straw from 77 to this PL. Don't get me started on the second set. I honestly don't know if there is a better show from 77 than this.
