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...

^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...
