Shocked that I get to submit this a day after the 50th anniversary! Incredible version with a very melodic, well-structured solo and a great SSDD!

They really nail the climax section on this one...nice spiralling feel and also very heavy.

Scarier than Veneta IMO. That spacey feedback section just before they slip into MAMU is downright frightening stoned, dosed or sober! Intricate, intense version from a stunning show top-to-bottom.

^Indeed...Bobby can barely spit the words out fast enough! Energetic, powerful version from a fantastic show. Is it just me, or is this the heaviest show of the tour? Definitely top 3 in that regard!

Features Phil in his "stoned John Entwistle" mode, as I like to think of it...

The best part of this version is after the song is over: Bob: "If I could get the equipment, I could rule the world" Jerry: "Hahaha...no way, man"
