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

Whole show is an underrated gem, and this is no exception.

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.

There are 20 votes for the night before that actually belong to this one, as it wasn't played on the 13th...

There's a confident saunter to this one...

^yes, and then Phil's quip: "and we like to scratch our asses a little" XD Agreed, this is one of the best versions...the band's exuberance shines through even before the "WOO!" I think you can tell it's their first "real" show in a week and they're raring to go...

It is cool, but also a bit tedious at times to my ears, clocking in at 26 minutes -- and I'm a drummer who loves drum solos. John Bonham is the only one who should be soloing that long IMO...

Feels like one of the better ones from a tour where it was consistently excellent.
