Kicks off an epic 34-song show in style with an excellent solo from Keith!

They actually only played it six times on this tour, with 5/25 being the only one after this. I agree, it's a great version apart from Jerry's minor lyrical flubs.

I ranked this fourth of the tour last year, but I now realize that was a mistake. I'd put it ahead of Bickershaw for third at least (had Paris first and Frankfurt second). Goes very far out and covers some crazy terrain, yet stays every bit as refined as the gorgeous venue it was performed in...A++
