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...

Fantastic 15-min pre-verse...on pace to be one of the best before it gives way to Drums and TOO after just 19:50

One of the most sophisticated versions ever...somehow jazzy and out there, yet still totally Good Lovin'

One of the most gracefully intense jams I've heard...criminally underrated.

There are 20 votes for the night before that actually belong to this one, as it wasn't played on the 13th...

There's a confident saunter to this one...
