Just a full-on rocking get-up-and-jump version. Keith's blazes here.

Long fast and beautiful China jam to open 2nd set. Forgotten show? Check it out, heads, you won't regret it.

Crowd pumped up for this 1st set opener. Juiced and tight. Starts one hell of show.

Never hits that level of wicked psychotic meltdown like some of the massive stars, but has some of the sweetest most melodic spontaneous composition they ever did. Oh and the glorious jam transitioning into Sugar Mag followed by a furiously heavy Caution make this every bit worth the praise.

Trouble groking this song? Check this one out and get it once and for all.

This one is a nice long ride. They take their time, but get you there alright. Understated, but brilliant and coherent - up there with the best of them.

Great version with cool, almost punk rock energy to it. Set lists.net and the box set have this going into 'Next time You See Me', not 'Sitting on top of the world'. What gives?

Sounds great up-tempo. To my ears it's better as a country crooner than as a slow ballad.
