Speedy late 70's precision. Hot relic from a sweet run. (also, trying to add 7.4.89 and keep getting an error message. Version needs recognition)

Baller Jerry track that made the jump to the big leagues. They lock in nicely to this version

I have an odd love affair for this song and Euro '72 was its peak. UK a few nights later is far superior, but this one certainly has sufficient gusto

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.
