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...

I rarely go for post-pedal steel versions, but this one is gorgeous.

One of the best I've heard for sure!

Have to agree with what others have said about the loose-to-the-point-of-botched transitions. Also, Billy plays pretty much the entire song with the snares off...is it just me, or is this unusual?

Bobby starts to bid the crowd "goodnight" as "Johnny B. Goode" finishes, but Jerry has other plans and leads them into this sweet version...
