I think '71-'72 was probably the peak for this song...

Typically great '72 version, falling between a great "Tomorrow Is Forever" and an epic DS

Another excellent '72 version. Seems like this show is one of the most under-the-radar great '72 shows...

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.

One of the best I've heard for sure!

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?
