It can't be said enough how well Bobby plays this show. This is basically a rhythm guitar duel with Jerry, and it kicks ass.

An early but good one. The rhythm section kills, and Jerry's solo is wah-heavy and psychedelic.

Long before this song was a 15-minute soloing showcase, Jerry put the gusto into his vocals. This one exemplifies that - the whole band sounds great!

The band hits another gear toward the end, especially after the false ending. I've never heard Billy go as crazy as this before. Great one!

This song was a firestorm in the early Keith era - just listen to him bang those keys here! You can practically see the smoke billowing from his keys.

FANTASTIC! How this one doesn't have more votes is beyond me.

What's even odder is that this excellent version wasn't even listed on this site when the show was announced as an official release. I couldn't believe no one had submitted it before I did!

A bot??? Really? Never thought I’d live to see the day that Heady Version would have that problem. But…here we are, I guess.

…imagine getting THIS upset at other people liking a version that you don’t like. C’mon, man. Cool it.

Nice version from a good show in an underwhelming year. A big highlight of the first set.
