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...

I think this one is very interesting if you're in the right mood to focus on it. Pig's rap in the final two minutes before Caution is one of his best ever!

Unique ending to the solo on this one, resulting from the boys cutting Jerry off prematurely...

That peak around the 8:00 mark sure sneaks up on you...WOW! Billy's touches as it winds to a close are extra-sweet on this one as well.
