Perfect execution on this sweetheart of a tune.

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.

Beat it on Down The Line

Baby Bobby: Shimmy shimmy shake shake, baby baby baby! This is twisty rock and roller Baby Bobby stuff here. Consider for a moment that he was 18 years old at this point. Hot damn.
You Don't Love Me

Brilliant rarity.
Caution

Listening to all of '66 and this feels like the very first fully realized one.
Cold Rain and Snow

Ivar Theater

Fans of this song need to hear this! It's down to the bare bones, young, raw and full of passion.
I Know You Rider

You'd almost call this a Phil song at this point in the early history of the band. So cool to hear it in its infancy.
