Sounds like it could have been a top 40 CW chart topper. Something clean and pure about it - maybe one drummer helps on this tune.

Crystal clear sound and tight show opener in this hot hot pre-Europe run. The vocals are on and the transition rocks.

Super-strengthed version with a solid, driving pulse. They took their vitamins this day: The whole show's has that bursting-at-seams energy.

Insane explosive blowout for the set-closer. Caps an excellent first set with extraordinary energy.

Jerry's never sounded so crisp. He slashes through it like a sunlight machete.

Possible the tightest outro of all of them. Can I vote for this twice? Shieeeeeet, it just rocks.

This hits me deep in the brain. This is the sound of infinity, goodness in the cosmos, light triumphant, ecstasy. If streaming, don't bother with any copy other than Charlie Miller's.

1st version ever and its a Big Bang. All the Bertha openers throughout the years come out of this one.
