The jittery bridge between an epic, 19-min Truckin' and a pretty cool TOO...

I rank it second- or third-last of the 11 Europe versions mainly by default, but it's still excellent. I rank 5/23 last, and might put this ahead of 5/7 simply because that one is truncated. This one is definitely on the understated side, but I think it sounds fresh and different. It makes me think of Narnia...like wandering around an ice castle.

It was fairly common in Fall '72, but this is the only version from Europe. Fitting capper to this fun, different show...

This was the highlight of last year's Meet Up At The Movies for me...their pure joy playing the hell out of a setlist regular like this really exemplifies what makes this tour so great IMO.

The first version I heard; made me fall in love with the song...

I favour the E72 versions for the warmth of Pig's organ, with 5/4 Paris being my all-time fav, but this one is great for sure.
