Hard-swingin' version with lots of oomph behind it. Sweet show.

A dynamite set opener, worth the ride in spite of some rough aud/soundboard patches.

Phil in good form, high energy and an epic 1st set. A must for '73 fans.

More hard rockin' than others in the tour. Stretches out a bit more too, though rough in places has great energy.

Not just a trip down memory lane, but a great demonstration of how far they'd evolved in two years after the peak TC era. It also sounds fucking great and twists and zigzags wildly and would have just been perfect to peak along to with a few thousand close friends....

Note for note perfect. May be my favourite of all time. I just keep coming back for more again and again. Love how it drops all the way down to pianissimo, just a delicate little whisper over the unmistakeable chord changes, then rises up and burns the multiverse into a smoking crater.

Most pleasing and excellent. A right hot jam.

Remarkable for how it's interwoven between everything else in this brilliant set, but simply amazing for the intense musicality and complex collective interaction during its jams.

They're still building it into what we know from '72 onward, and listening to them in sequence is a great ride. This one stands out from others of the time for exploring a slower, unfamiliar groove. Sounds a bit more like the original "Main Ten" than others in April '71. Interesting and fun.
