Great version out of a nice Bird Song that suffers due to only an audience recording existing. Still definitely worth the listen though

Probably best of the tour....They let it all out after the incredible segue that makes up the majority of the set

Yes ^ that's what been missing from most of the other Europe 72 versions. Stellar one here; between this, the PITB, and He's Gone, tonight's versions show what's to come in the future...
