Like the night before, a great version from a legendary show that I'm surprised wasn't already here...

Shocked this wasn't here already...gorgeous version from a legendary show, about two weeks before they recorded the studio version.

For a song with less diversity from one version to the next, this one is better than most, and rare coming so late in the show...

I think Fall '72 is the best era for FOTD -- fast and wired like the studio version!

Really smooth, shimmery solo from Jerry. Love how Billy accents Bob's count-in to SSDD on the toms...

Very nice...feels like you're floating in the abyss. Billy has a real tasty fill taking them out of the bridge.

Keith and Phil really propel this one forward...one of the most energetic versions I've heard.

Phil's high harmony parts sound great here!
