Great, tight show opener kicking off the '72 run on the new box! Has a bit of that 'Cornell inertia,' as I like to call it...

Great version in the right part of the country for it! Keith teases the "Marines' Hymn" before they start...oorah! Man, I love '72...

I tend to prefer these earlier versions when it was bouncy and didn't overstay its welcome...

Love how Billy plays through "The Main Ten" between the first two verses. Fantastic, intense jam as others have said. Phil does some awesome stuff!

A few slight lyrical flubs by Bobby, but otherwise a very nice version.

Some priceless banter from Bob before they launch into this one. Starts you off with a smile...as if Tennessee Jed doesn't always put one there anyway :)

Jerry gets pretty into the vocals towards the end compared to other '72 versions...
