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...

^It sounds to me like they abandoned ship because someone shouted for "something sweet"

^Couldn't have said it better myself, Carrion_Crow! Ego death is an experience you can't possibly explain, but a great "Black Peter" like this sure comes close...

Keith really shines on this one, followed by Phil playing wingman in Pig's stead heading into intermission...

Criminally underrated! That should change now with the box set. I think this is kind of a "Goldilocks" version -- tight, well-sung verses; some spaciness; some dreaminess; some Tiger. A+ in my books...
