'73 versions much preferred, and this early one comes through big-time

Sure, this song is a throw-away, but it's also a chance for Jerry (and Bill...shit, everyone) to go off

Jerry digs deep on this one and the boys deliver a tuned-in together performance

Auditorium Theatre

The '76 Cassidys are laid back for sure, but this one and the entire show lope like no other, and in the best possible way. Epic PeggyO, Mission, Jed, epic top-to-bottom

Your analysis may have merit...all I can say is that I love listening to this version...maybe it's the moodiness, or the Phil-heaviness, but whatever it is, it is awesome...there may be better versions, but this one is pretty great to my ears
