Phil and Bill sound like a runaway box car in an Appalachian mine! Heady interplay during the solos.

Cool chording from Bobby and a very restless Phil during the verses, then Billy and Keith fire off the jack hammer at the end of Jerry's lyrical solo.

This one is pretty unique for a song that didn't change much night to night...

Excellent version highlighted by a very jittery Billy with lots of ghost notes on the snare! Slightly botched ending, but otherwise great...

Billy really steals the show on this one...tosses in a variety of grooves, all to great success.

Yes, Sooty -- they play the second verse 3/23 New York and 5/4 Paris! Jerry sounds like he wants to play it in Dusseldorf, but Bob overrules him and they slip into a great Wharf Rat.

Excellent, extended (for '72) outro and a great version overall.

David Lemieux said in the latest episode of the Deadcast that this and half of "Big Boss Man" weren't recorded due to the crew working out the kinks on opening night...

Very strong version. Phil is especially "on" during China Cat. Interesting, subdued final minute or so of the transition...

Wow! One of the best I've heard for sure.
