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...

Agree with what others have said...a great, clean version with great vocals and an appropriate amount of jamming to keep the magic of the song intact. Could be the definitive non-jammed electric version...

Definitely one of the more aggressive ones. Furious capper to an all-time great show!

The more deliberate tempo at the start of this one makes the cacophony of the climax that much more dramatic. When it starts too brisk, it doesn't have sufficient room to build. This first set may be a bit more mellow than others, but it's still stellar start-to-finish — a nice one to enjoy with one's morning coffee on a lazy day...

Very nice one. Jerry hits those closing notes with passion.
