Not the best vocally, but very good instrumentally.

Billy really makes this one -- some very cool snare and hi-hat work starting just before 2:00!

Very technically sound — almost like he’s doing a rudiment exercise for much of it, which is fine by me!

Pretty good climax on this one, which is the key to the song IMO. All-around solid version, surprised it's not on here yet.

They sound a bit bored with it to my ears until Phil kicks them into gear around the 4:00 mark. Probably smart that they gave it a break after '71...

Absolutely mind-blowing how much they pack into just a 10-minute version!

Unbelievably dense and intense for its length, just like the "Good Lovin'" right after!

Jerry is fantastic on this one as well -- great tone!

Love Brent's solo on this one...hints of Jerry Lee Lewis.
