Pretty good climax on this one, which is the key to the song IMO. All-around solid version, surprised it's not on here yet.

They sound a bit bored with it to my ears until Phil kicks them into gear around the 4:00 mark. Probably smart that they gave it a break after '71...

More relaxed pace than usual, which allows Bob to give a nice, thoughtful vocal performance.

Very nice...feels like you're floating in the abyss. Billy has a real tasty fill taking them out of the bridge.

Keith and Phil really propel this one forward...one of the most energetic versions I've heard.

Phil's high harmony parts sound great here!

Really good, clean version. Some truly hilarious banter as they're adjusting their monitors before launching into it too...what a way to kick off the new box set!

Came on after 1/11/79 JS thanks to YouTube autoplay while I was in the shower and I had to jump out to see which show it was LOL...scorcher!
