Shocked that I get to submit this a day after the 50th anniversary! Incredible version with a very melodic, well-structured solo and a great SSDD!

So dreamy and smooth — like this whole show. They don't all have to be Tiger...nice to have ones for many different moods.

I rarely go for post-pedal steel versions, but this one is gorgeous.

Have to agree with what others have said about the loose-to-the-point-of-botched transitions. Also, Billy plays pretty much the entire song with the snares off...is it just me, or is this unusual?
