They could hardly screw up the "hard" songs in Fall '72, much less EP

There's a confident saunter to this one...

^yes, and then Phil's quip: "and we like to scratch our asses a little" XD Agreed, this is one of the best versions...the band's exuberance shines through even before the "WOO!" I think you can tell it's their first "real" show in a week and they're raring to go...

It is cool, but also a bit tedious at times to my ears, clocking in at 26 minutes -- and I'm a drummer who loves drum solos. John Bonham is the only one who should be soloing that long IMO...

Feels like one of the better ones from a tour where it was consistently excellent.

Crazy that this is still wallowing in the single-digits! Not the shot-out-of-a-psychedelic-cannon intensity of 4/8, but it's very smooth and sophisticated...
