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...

Keith is playing a Fender Rhodes electric piano (as heard on "No Quarter," "Riders On The Storm," etc.), not a Hammond B3...

I like this song a lot more at this tempo...it's a beautiful song, but it doesn't need to be pushing 10 minutes at 50 bpm IMO
