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...

Crazy to think that Jerry's lyrical flub in this otherwise excellent version is probably the biggest "mistake" of this entire 3h 41m masterpiece of a show...

The one from the following night is my all-time fav, but this one is excellent too!

^Most of the show has that feel — to my ears at least — which makes it sound fresh. It's a nice little palette-cleanser before Paris and beyond...

This has to be one of, if not THE heaviest version. Showing no signs of fatigue after the all-time great show they uncorked in Düsseldorf two nights prior, you can tell they mean business from the start here...
