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.

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.

Excellent version, placed unusually late in the show. Part of one of the best second sets ever...

cgarces, like you, I have this phenomenal show second only to Rotterdam for the tour, and both of them trailing only 2/13/70 overall...

I like to view these little drum breaks within an epic DS or TOO as a pit stop to repair the spaceship along the journey...
