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.

Killer stuff. Someone recommended me the matrix of this (https://archive.org/details/gd1978-07-08.126239.mtx-redo.eichorn.sbeok.t-flac16). Powerful playing.
