Do people talk a lot about this DWD? Because I really think it deserves to be…talked about. So this is me talking about it. That jam is so epic. The last 3 minutes or so before it goes into NICU are pure bliss. I don’t know how they come up with that shit.

The IT DWD also goes into NICU…what does this mean?

This first set is still one of my all time favorites. Great playing throughout and one of the first shows I got on CD after many years of only tapes.
