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...

Tight and punchy opener. I maintain Bertha is their best show-opening song.

They ride the crests of the wave in perfect unison as in all of the best versions of it. Sounds like they were excited about and proud of this new 'toy' of theirs...

Bobby's bee story afterwards LOL! Can't tell if the groaning "oh, Bob" afterward is someone in the band or the crowd...fitting either way!
