This is a demonstration of the discipline of pro musicians. Dave and Chris are absolutely LOCKED. Normally, having two drummers is a groove nightmare because of inconsistency in the space between notes, but this level of professionalism makes this is a masterpiece of time and feel.

DAMN, this NEVER gets old. I'll bet I've listened to this fifty times over an extensive period of time. Energy level = 120% Performance level = 120% Showcased Drumming = no words. And that vocalist is so darned inventive, the subtleties in timing, timbre, effects, etc...superb. To my ears this is the pinnacle performance of this song, not just cover, but including the original. And yes, there are a few REALLY good others.
