This version is a raging BEAST! If you've never heard it, you're in for a treat.

This otherwise great version is spoiled for me by Keith's choice of keyboard tone - it's too synthy and repetitive. May 22nd is just exactly perfect in every way.

I love this version. Listen closely a ways into the post-song jam and Phil turns it into an 11/4 pattern (123-123-123-12). I've never heard another time (outside of The Eleven itself) where the band played in an 11-beat pattern. And they make is sound perfectly rehearsed. Stunning work.

A fine version, but do yourself a favor and listen to 11.17.72. Best I've ever heard, imho.

Check out the video of this version on youtube! What a treasure to have video of this level of band chemistry. What an ending... totally amazing.

Technically, the 2nd show of the Europe 72 run :) While I like this version the best of this amazing run, there are other endings that are more ballistic - like 5.3.72.
