Giants Stadium

Usually a bit of a throwaway for me, but this one was lyrically enthusiastic with tight playing

Tight, bright version. A great yin to the Stranger yang opener

Hey Pocky Way

Frost Amphitheatre

Blistering, full band energy. Crunchy Brent, fiery Jerry soloing - Bobby notes pre-song, this is the "drummer's choice" - Version cranks

Absolutely glistening solo from Jerry and tasteful tonal fills from Brent. Choice

Super tight, funky, slinky Stranger, to really get the night moving. HOT

Good Lovin'

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

Winterland Arena

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