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 tend to prefer these earlier versions when it was bouncy and didn't overstay its welcome...

Really smooth, shimmery solo from Jerry. Love how Billy accents Bob's count-in to SSDD on the toms...

Very nice...feels like you're floating in the abyss. Billy has a real tasty fill taking them out of the bridge.

Keith and Phil really propel this one forward...one of the most energetic versions I've heard.

Really good, clean version. Some truly hilarious banter as they're adjusting their monitors before launching into it too...what a way to kick off the new box set!
