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...

Takes on a taunting tone at this tempo...could freak you out in a certain state.

Might just be my favourite I've heard so far -- spectacular. Jerry's vocals are gorgeous, and the dynamic swells are grand, yet smooth.

One of the best I've heard...wow!

One of the better ones I've heard...jubilant!
