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.

After a subdued first three songs, they really take off here. Pig's organ is very active on this one. Love this show!

Shorter than some others on this tour, but it certainly packs a punch! Then a tight, quick slip into an epic TOO.

Jerry certainly does tear it a new one! Ferocious version.

^Agreed! Spectacular version to kick off an epic show. I rank this show 3rd for E72, narrowly behind Rotterdam and the second night in Paris...

Musikhalle

A few slight lyrical flubs keep it below the other Europe '72 versions, but a nice, peaceful end to a great show nonetheless.
