*With Tom Marshall on vocals. #Performed early so Mike could use the footage to make the video. This wasn’t really an official debut of “Down With Disease”; the song was not played. 04-04-94 Burlington is the real debut.

For some reason I really love listening to this Auld Lang Syne > Down With Disease. Some of it is how the solo triumphantly explodes out of Auld Lang Syne for the first time ever… but a lot of it is how TIGHT it is. It may be two minutes, but it’s two minutes of a clear, flawless solo. And then it just drops into SOAM and a merciless third set.

Heard this one for the first time the other day. I think I prefer it over the previous night. Reba was very good and the Tweezer was probably my favorite part. And yes, the ALS>DWD is very cool.

ALS>DWD jam is great, but there is straight up Hood MAGIC.

Incredible Reba! Definitely an all-timer!
