This song is awesome in '73, and this one is no exception!

They could hardly screw up the "hard" songs in Fall '72, much less EP

Keith is ridiculous on this one -- the whole Promised Land > Bertha > GSET hat trick actually!

Starts off sounding like a steam-powered ship lurching into motion, but is more akin to a freight train galloping at a cool 35 MPH by the time they hit the incredible climax of Jerry's solo! Crazy how much that section evolved from '72 (still great) to '73, despite not getting any longer...

Billy and Jerry cannot get in sync with each other for the first 1:40…hilariously so. Phil eventually tries to overemphasize the “1” to no avail, so Billy gives up and goes back into the NFA groove briefly to try again! Typically great '72 version once they get it going...

Highlighted by a raunchy, muscular solo from Jerry

Kind of a mellow intensity...on the slower end for '72. Nice one.
