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...

Very banjo-like solo from Jerry. Cool version with some very spacious playing from Jerry during SSDD.

Just hearing this for the first time -- WOW! Fast and energetic, sure, but it's also heavier than most Eyes...this one has some bite!

Was listening to this show in the backyard yesterday for the anniversary...when Donna let out that scream on the outro, my dog jolted out of her sleep and looked at me like "WTF?!"
