Man, they're having a blast. Totally firing on all cylinders, and clipping along at 90mph. Great stuff.

Solid rockin' version with a cruisin' pulse and tight ensemble playing at high energy.

Back from Europe with all the polish and power of a masterpiece: They've perfected the arc and emotional nuance. Miller cleanup is best (duh).

Gets pretty hard rock in places. This whole show, actually, has a high voltage rock vibe unlike all others on the tour. Underrated show all round.

Utterly gobsmacked that this ain't here yet: It's a furious barnburner. Full of get up and go.

Blisteringly hot version here. Great show all 'round.

Seriously tight and intricate. What a show this must have been. Phil's extensive soloing shows off his enormous genius.

A hell of a lot of music in these 46 minutes. I wouldn't say it gets as freaky as some, say 02.12.73, but endlessly fascinating. Something to contemplate, enjoy, and fade in and out to.

Played almost as a boogie-woogie, and Keith shows off his stride chops. Just lickety-split and dandy.

Turns MLB from a serene chill-out groove into a funk-blaster, and Jerry lets you know it with some vicious steam-whistle guitar noise at the start. Coooooooooooool.
