I know, I know you can't pick Ithica for everything, but this is one of the best versions ever.

He's Gone

Winterland Arena

Man o' man the Intro is so smooth. Then the outro jam is trippy and very unique. It does sound like Jer on cid. You don't know where it's going - maybe O1? - then flows nicely to drums and then into a very good Samson. The He's Gone versus are also just exactly perfect.
