Devils box continued. Cool little Jam.
Better get out my wave drum, lol.
Nice looking trio of cuts this week.
Cheers
Edit - 19 beat BIODTL and no one messes it up!
Edit - The '91 has me totally focused on Bruce. He adds so much, it really revived the band.
8/12/72
Very very nice! Another big ole '72 Other One in a great jam sequence!
Werewolves of Mars
oh, lest I forget, that 4/21/78 post drumz is killer
and yeah I counted those 19 beats on 2nd and 3rd listens!! wonder where the 19 count came from - I've heard that sometimes it was day of the month they'd use for the count but not here.
