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 like the 5/4 Paris version slightly better, but this is one of the best for sure.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Strand Lyceum

This is one of the more energetic versions of the tour, I think...

Keith is playing a Fender Rhodes electric piano (as heard on "No Quarter," "Riders On The Storm," etc.), not a Hammond B3...
It Must Have Been The Roses

Adams Field House, U of Montana

I like this song a lot more at this tempo...it's a beautiful song, but it doesn't need to be pushing 10 minutes at 50 bpm IMO
