Jerry and Bob are both really good on this one. Phil and Bill drive it forward nicely as well -- doesn't drag at all like some do.

Tight and punchy opener. I maintain Bertha is their best show-opening song.

They ride the crests of the wave in perfect unison as in all of the best versions of it. Sounds like they were excited about and proud of this new 'toy' of theirs...

Bobby's bee story afterwards LOL! Can't tell if the groaning "oh, Bob" afterward is someone in the band or the crowd...fitting either way!
