Billy's doing some interesting stuff on the drums here! And excellent solo from Jer! Vocals too!

74 versions really captured the western tone well. Short and sweet.

Jerry calls for Bertha then proceed to royally flub the lyrics LOL. Solid bouncy version though.

Phil and Brent really escalate the dance party factor of this tune in later years. Great performance this night. Just sheer fun. Comes to awk end.

They've got some real energy for this tune and they sound remarkably cohesive. Comes out of a smashing PITB. Bill's killing it. and Great solos from Pig & Jer.

This one is absolutely bonkers for a Europe version. Plus, I think they added a back and forth effect during Jerry's solo in the Europe 72 release mix (sneaky). Absolute face melting madness. Jerry's having fun with this.
