Captures all that's great about this song. Uplifting, joyful, smile-inducing. Can't believe this one's not here yet.

Supreme version: Fast, precise and galloping. Great harmonies with Jer singing backup.

Propulsive and moody. Melodic developments developed over 20 minutes of energetic jamming. Billy and Phil are driving throughout.

Expansive, exploritory, and spaced out in places, a nice ride and another great from Spring '73.

Churning and swirling, it grows and grows like a dynamo wheelspinner.

The AUD patch at the beginning doesn't remove one iota of this version's enormous musicality and brilliance. Towards the end it sounds like everyone is playing in a different time signature yet moving forward with the grace, fun and bounce specific to the song's unique pulse. Wonderful.
