The last of a whopping 73 plays in 1972, and a nice one to finish with...

Perhaps not surprisingly, you can really hear the '73 sound starting to emerge here (and elsewhere in the show)...

Good start to a very overlooked show. This was their most common opener in '72, kicking off 32 shows, this being the last of them (opens S2 on NYE).

Good version sandwiched between HCS and the big jam suite...

Seems like this show needs more love around here...a few high vote-getters, but the whole thing rocks

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...
Beat it on Down The Line

Bickershaw Festival

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"
