Not the best vocally, but very good instrumentally.

Billy really makes this one -- some very cool snare and hi-hat work starting just before 2:00!

Very technically sound — almost like he’s doing a rudiment exercise for much of it, which is fine by me!

Pretty good climax on this one, which is the key to the song IMO. All-around solid version, surprised it's not on here yet.

They sound a bit bored with it to my ears until Phil kicks them into gear around the 4:00 mark. Probably smart that they gave it a break after '71...

Really smooth, shimmery solo from Jerry. Love how Billy accents Bob's count-in to SSDD on the toms...

Very nice...feels like you're floating in the abyss. Billy has a real tasty fill taking them out of the bridge.

Keith and Phil really propel this one forward...one of the most energetic versions I've heard.

Phil's high harmony parts sound great here!

Really good, clean version. Some truly hilarious banter as they're adjusting their monitors before launching into it too...what a way to kick off the new box set!
