Solid powerful version where they start gelling perfectly for the set.

Uptempo, intense, driving statement of holy-fuckiyana rock'n'roll. Not one I usually +1, but this is worth it. The SSDD is dynamite.

Hard-charging diesel burner here. Bobby's nice and high in the mix, so a nice treat. The jam into TOO is brilliant.

Why no love for this great show? It isn't one of the top 10 for the year - but it's '72 and they're flowing just exactly perfect.

A hot rocker with Phil high in the mix. This is a "get up and dance" version with everyone clearly having a blast.

Churning and swirling, it grows and grows like a dynamo wheelspinner.

The AUD patch at the beginning doesn't remove one iota of this version's enormous musicality and brilliance. Towards the end it sounds like everyone is playing in a different time signature yet moving forward with the grace, fun and bounce specific to the song's unique pulse. Wonderful.

Inventive and flowing with perfect ensemble mindflow. Never gets old. One of the great greats.

Fuckin' double posts. I'm sorry. But really young heads dig deep into the good old GD on this one.
