The first half is out of control. It slows a bit in the middle, but the transition into GDTRFB is killer. Better than Cornell for sure (IMHO of course).

The groove on this one is outrageous! Fantastic interplay on this slow burner masterpiece!

Seems like the best NFAs are in '71!!! This is my second fave after the epic 11-15-71.

A unique version...sounds like they're gonna quit right after the song, then all of a sudden its off to happy melody jam land!
