Bobby REALLY doesn't want any more rain... This is a bute of a version though. Excellent Jerry leads

This one hits the "get up and GO!" button early, then following the initial swell, the band and pig connect on some really interesting improv, instrumentation illustrating the rap.

Cannot say enough about how pumped I am for this RSD release. Show is all-timer and sounds so buttery on vinyl. This Bertha fires out of the gates with tight, passionate playing. For Euro '72, I prefer the HYH version slightly better, but that's likely more for familiarity and nostalgia purposes (I wore that OUT when released). All a matter of preference between these two for best of tour, IMO

Wholly agree with previous comments - real jumpy version, though the energy and direction is synched and hammers home nicely.
