Excellent version highlighted by a very jittery Billy with lots of ghost notes on the snare! Slightly botched ending, but otherwise great...

Billy really steals the show on this one...tosses in a variety of grooves, all to great success.

Great, tight show opener kicking off the '72 run on the new box! Has a bit of that 'Cornell inertia,' as I like to call it...

Great version in the right part of the country for it! Keith teases the "Marines' Hymn" before they start...oorah! Man, I love '72...

An all-timer kicking off an all-time great show, just two weeks before they recorded the studio version...

Am I the only one who finds '73 PITB's slightly underwhelming compared to their Fall '72 counterparts? Don't get me wrong, they're well-played and great to vibe to, but they don't seem to be as complex for the most part...

One of the best. I've never heard Jerry sing it better...
