Like the night before, a great version from a legendary show that I'm surprised wasn't already here...

Shocked this wasn't here already...gorgeous version from a legendary show, about two weeks before they recorded the studio version.

For a song with less diversity from one version to the next, this one is better than most, and rare coming so late in the show...

I favour the E72 versions for the warmth of Pig's organ, with 5/4 Paris being my all-time fav, but this one is great for sure.

Maybe not the very best, but better than most! In the upper-echelon, for sure...

Beautiful version that captures the dreamy vibe of the studio version well...

Really starting to sound like '73, as is the case on a few other tunes this evening as well. Great version.
