Short, but listen to crowd freak out when the riff starts. Solid show on Lennon's birthday.

Trippy board effects on vocals. Everything this song should be.

Wonderful interplay. Short and focused. Sounds like the band becomes one organism.

Also wanted to add a comment about the distinctive "Eyes"-type riffing that occurs about 2/3s of the way in.

Agreed. Show as a whole is overrated.
