More relaxed pace than usual, which allows Bob to give a nice, thoughtful vocal performance.

Unique bounce to this one...slower than usual for '74, but still neat.

I know it's easy for one version to bleed into the next, but this is a good one.

Great, spiralling slo-motion groove to this one. This show is climbing my ranks very quickly!

One of the best they'd played to this point, I'd say...

Keith's solo is fantastic here!
