Ripping opener with a unique solo from Jerry!

Jerry and Bob are both really good on this one. Phil and Bill drive it forward nicely as well -- doesn't drag at all like some do.

Not the best vocally, but very good instrumentally.

Billy really makes this one -- some very cool snare and hi-hat work starting just before 2:00!

Very technically sound — almost like he’s doing a rudiment exercise for much of it, which is fine by me!

One of the best of the tour IMO. Keith plays a phrase throughout that seems to suggest Little Richard's "The Girl Can't Help It," which Jerry then echoes closer to the end of the jam after Keith has stopped playing it...great stuff from an underrated show!

Love the brisk tempo for this one! Jerry's riffing has a real surf rock feel to it...

Yup...one of two shows on the tour that they split into three sets, 4/24 Dusseldorf being the other...

I think this one is very interesting if you're in the right mood to focus on it. Pig's rap in the final two minutes before Caution is one of his best ever!

Unique ending to the solo on this one, resulting from the boys cutting Jerry off prematurely...
