Slowest of the fast versions?

This is an incredible, unique, fast-paced version. Bob's singing is superb and Phil's bass playing is lickety-split in the best possible way.

Incredibly high-octane version from a great show!

The reason it might sounds "lethargic" and "lumbering" is that RT 1.1 as a whole runs slow. I added 3% pitch correction and wow--a towering performance.

I learned that RT 1.1 runs about 2% slow. Finally got a CD player that can adjust the pitch. Wow--at +3% (it only works in 1.5% increments), this version really pops! Even funkier than everyone says above!

Yup--Keith's playing here is superb.

Applying the 1973 magic (slightly slower and gentler) raises this version above the incendiary primal versions. Grate!

Wonderful, best upbeat (pre-hiatus) version.
