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.

Jerry unleashes an incredible torrent of notes with about a minute to go in this one. Beautiful opening as well.

They play this like a super-swung Ramble On Rose!

In addition to everything already mentioned, Jerry’s vocals on Rider are incredible! Sounding like 1970 at times.
