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.

I think Fall '72 is the best era for FOTD -- fast and wired like the studio version!

Really smooth, shimmery solo from Jerry. Love how Billy accents Bob's count-in to SSDD on the toms...

Very nice...feels like you're floating in the abyss. Billy has a real tasty fill taking them out of the bridge.

Keith and Phil really propel this one forward...one of the most energetic versions I've heard.

Phil's high harmony parts sound great here!
