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...

^It sounds to me like they abandoned ship because someone shouted for "something sweet"

^Couldn't have said it better myself, Carrion_Crow! Ego death is an experience you can't possibly explain, but a great "Black Peter" like this sure comes close...

Keith really shines on this one, followed by Phil playing wingman in Pig's stead heading into intermission...

Criminally underrated! That should change now with the box set. I think this is kind of a "Goldilocks" version -- tight, well-sung verses; some spaciness; some dreaminess; some Tiger. A+ in my books...

Transition finds a really unique space...like they stumbled upon a peaceful little meadow along the way and wandered in for a minute :)
