Not the best vocally, but very good instrumentally.

Billy really makes this one -- some very cool snare and hi-hat work starting just before 2:00!

Very technically sound — almost like he’s doing a rudiment exercise for much of it, which is fine by me!

Pretty good climax on this one, which is the key to the song IMO. All-around solid version, surprised it's not on here yet.

They sound a bit bored with it to my ears until Phil kicks them into gear around the 4:00 mark. Probably smart that they gave it a break after '71...

I quite like Pig's vocals on this! I don't expect him to sound like McCartney...

Less than half the length of the other three on this run, but still great!

They really accelerate out of the Willam Tell bridge on this one!

Jerry's vocal delivery is really superb on this one.
