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 long ride. Up and down, squiggling peaks followed by blissful space, followed by further peaks....

Nice but incomplete. We'd be grateful for any link to a full show during this amazingly dead month.

The meltdown shoots you out of a cannon like surpise ayahuasca after the deceptively mellow vocals.

Short and sweet. Really mellow vocals followed by a shot-out-of-the-cannon meltdown right into a great Eyes.
