Great, tight show opener kicking off the '72 run on the new box! Has a bit of that 'Cornell inertia,' as I like to call it...

Great version in the right part of the country for it! Keith teases the "Marines' Hymn" before they start...oorah! Man, I love '72...

I tend to prefer these earlier versions when it was bouncy and didn't overstay its welcome...

I favour the E72 versions for the warmth of Pig's organ, with 5/4 Paris being my all-time fav, but this one is great for sure.

Maybe not the very best, but better than most! In the upper-echelon, for sure...

One of the best I've heard!

Beautiful version that captures the dreamy vibe of the studio version well...

Really starting to sound like '73, as is the case on a few other tunes this evening as well. Great version.
