This has to be one of, if not THE heaviest version. Showing no signs of fatigue after the all-time great show they uncorked in Düsseldorf two nights prior, you can tell they mean business from the start here...

Compare this to the version from Düsseldorf two nights prior, and you have the difference between the two shows overall IMO. Both are very energetic, but Düsseldorf's is wild and crazy, whereas this one is studio-tight...

Bob's rhythm playing during the jam is fantastic on this one! This could be the best night of the tour for the guitars...

Chiming in again to say that merryjerry nailed it: "never sounds the same twice."

A song I sometimes groan to see in a setlist — sacrilege to some, I know — but I love this version! Top 5-7 show of the year IMO
