15 min Truckin. Disintegrates into sinister murkiness and then goes into Eyes.

Imagine hearing this outro jam and going BuT tHaT oNe FlUb. And then comparing it to boring ass 77.

Maybe my favorite. Crazy they hadn't played it since March and they just absolutely crush it.

I love how laid back in the cut Jerry is in this show. This is that mellow heat.

I love how mellow this one is. Just works. Here comes '74.

"The fast part was one of the few times Barlow and I sat and wrote words and music simultaneously. The slow part was written completely separately. I liked the music but it sounded like a love song, which is not my forte. Then Eric Andersen and I got a bottle of whiskey and wrote this sappy love song. I always hated what we did, which is why that part of the song vanished for years."
