Usually a toss-off for me, and maybe it's Chuck Berry's passing that makes me think of it, but this version kicks serious ass. Deliberate and strong.

Crisp, articulate, deliberate. This is as strong a statement about what this song could be in '72 as I know. Airplay levels of concision.

Always loved this one early in the first set, 'cause it meant the boys meant business. This one has a loose, comfortable sound, but with high energy.

Masterclass from the Philzone here. He tears this one up.

Driven version. Purposeful, biting, and strong, with a high-tension wire energy. They meant business.

Playin' In The Band
Aug. 6, 1971
Hollywood Palladium

Playin' in 2nd half of '71 shows the seeds of evolution toward the epic it would become in the next year. This one is tight and cool. Good version.
Hard to Handle

Hollywood Palladium

When Pig Dead hits your mind give this one the time. No brakes, no hesitation, no regrets. Oh - and one of Jerry's all time best blues solos too.

Winterland Arena

As epic as they come.
