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 know it's easy for one version to bleed into the next, but this is a good one.

Great, spiralling slo-motion groove to this one. This show is climbing my ranks very quickly!
Brown Eyed Women

One of the best they'd played to this point, I'd say...

Music Hall

I think this could be my new favourite. I dare say a "perfect" version...
