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.

Nice grooving energy and beautiful vocals. No dragging here.

There's so much greatness in this show and this version is right up there. Is the date overshadowed a bit by 15.02 and 09.02? For my ears they came together just right on the combined sweetness and mega-groove of HCS right here.
