Phil and Bill sound like a runaway box car in an Appalachian mine! Heady interplay during the solos.

Cool chording from Bobby and a very restless Phil during the verses, then Billy and Keith fire off the jack hammer at the end of Jerry's lyrical solo.

This one is pretty unique for a song that didn't change much night to night...

Excellent version highlighted by a very jittery Billy with lots of ghost notes on the snare! Slightly botched ending, but otherwise great...

Billy really steals the show on this one...tosses in a variety of grooves, all to great success.

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"
