Fun S2 opener at one of the most overlooked shows of the year.

Great opener at perhaps the most underrated show of the year, at least based upon the ratings here...I have it as a Top 25 show of '72.

I think November '72 was the best period for this song, and this one is no exception. Phil crushes the ending.

I like this song a lot more at this tempo...it's a beautiful song, but it doesn't need to be pushing 10 minutes at 50 bpm IMO

Was not played in Rotterdam...

They actually only played it six times on this tour, with 5/25 being the only one after this. I agree, it's a great version apart from Jerry's minor lyrical flubs.

Jerry is in a very adventurous with both his riffing and the solo on this one. Great, swaggering version.

Jerry's vocals are very impassioned on this one, seemingly paying special attention to each syllable...
