Short, but listen to crowd freak out when the riff starts. Solid show on Lennon's birthday.

Trippy board effects on vocals. Everything this song should be.

Wonderful interplay. Short and focused. Sounds like the band becomes one organism.

Ah, you beat me to it! Second above, and I've honestly never heard the "Miracle" material done so well.

Shreddy bouncy triplet Jerry!

Rotterdam Civic Hall
I honestly haven't heard the rest of the '72 box yet (working through parts of '90, '84, '78-9, '73), but I have this show in pretty frequent rotation every time I have like 4 full hours I can listen to something. The whole show is fantastic, and this PITB opener is just unreal. Slow Jerry peak mid-way through, superb band interplay. Although I'm a bourbon man myself.

St. Louis Arena
Thanks man. I posted that a while ago, and I think this is the best version of this tune from the 04-77–06-77 run of shows.

Winterland Arena
Yeah, this is a superior version. During most of the May versions of this tune, I kept wanting them to stretch out a little, and they do here. The result is worth hearing!
