Tight, well-sung and really buzzing with energy. Keith has some great flourishes.

Hilarious intro as Bob and Jerry come in out of time with Phil. Hot one once they get going -- especially Billy, who's really 'on' at this show...

Phil and Bill sound like a runaway box car in an Appalachian mine! Heady interplay during the solos.

Cool chording from Bobby and a very restless Phil during the verses, then Billy and Keith fire off the jack hammer at the end of Jerry's lyrical solo.

This one is pretty unique for a song that didn't change much night to night...

Is it just me, or is Phil more noticeable in this one?

Glad they overruled Phil to launch into this one instead of Greatest Story, which he was noodling with coming out of the intermission...
Good Lovin'

Compact little guy compared to some others on the tour, but very good. Great build-up and explosion back into the verse.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Very nice one indeed. This whole show is overlooked! I think it's the best of the three between Rotterdam and the Lyceum run by a significant margin, which isn't to say that Lille and Luxembourg aren't also very good...
You Win Again

A tad slower than the other E72 versions, which lends it a nice, mellow vibe. Pig fills this one out nicely.
