They really attack it as opposed to sauntering through it…one of the most energetic I’ve heard! Don't let an audience tape scare ya...

This might be my favourite version. This is one of those songs that doesn't need to be jammed out IMO...the songwriting is good enough to stand on its own.

Swaggering version with the more careful tempos of this first set...

One of the slowest versions I've heard, but not in a bad way...I love listening to this first set with my morning coffee.

Last time it was used as an opener until 2/17/79 Oakland! Great start to my second-favourite show of the tour...

Fitting capper to what is, IMO, a Top 10 show of their career...
