More relaxed pace than usual, which allows Bob to give a nice, thoughtful vocal performance.

Not sure if it was intentional or a minor stumble, but at the very beginning Billy plays something that sounds like the clicking heels of cowboy boots

Unique bounce to this one...slower than usual for '74, but still neat.

Was not played in Rotterdam...

They actually only played it six times on this tour, with 5/25 being the only one after this. I agree, it's a great version apart from Jerry's minor lyrical flubs.

Jerry is in a very adventurous with both his riffing and the solo on this one. Great, swaggering version.

Rotterdam Civic Hall

Jerry's vocals are very impassioned on this one, seemingly paying special attention to each syllable...

Rotterdam Civic Hall

One of only seven times (out of 600 total plays) that they opened with PITB! This one feels much longer than its 10:33 run time — in a good way. You can tell this show has that "it" factor from the start...
