Rehearsal, no vocals, brilliant explorations of the song in development. Great insight into the boys' collective mind.

The long exploratory jam out of this is a subtle beauty. This whole suite is just fantastic.

No question about it, this one takes off like a rocket. Going through Playin's evolution in '72 is such a treat. Each one at this stage is stretching out further and furthur. This one takes on a hard-biting psychedelic edge like none before it.

The emotional crescendo and rising arc of triumphant intensity on this is spectacular. The band is tight and swells as one to the muscular climax, really bringing out what's special about this composition. Needs more votes, this one.

Quite right, patchmyversion. I listened to this again on headphones and it's clearly Phil singing those beautiful harmonies. I rarely identify "favorite" versions, but this LLR is the GOAT for me. It's simply the standard I look for in all other versions.

Cgarces is right. This one has that something extra. Bobby doesn't lose control, and the band is pushing against the seems in a supercharged way that just pumps up energy in what by all estimates is one hell of a great first set.
