Bobby accidentally tries to bring it back into the chorus at the end, some heated bickering between him and Phil? Brent "Everybody makes mistakes!"

How is this not on here yet!? Comes right out of a gorgeous space, 1000 MPH Brent laying on the hammond, Jerry shredding, NFA claps to carry you along

A fiesty Sugar Mags...with HORNS?!? The band is firing on all cylinders for this one. The September '73 horns tour is so so so underrated

This one slowly chugs with a feeling of impending doom with the story

I must be a stranger to late 74 FOTD's but this groove is sick!

Rhode Island Auditorium

This really REALLY rips. Agreed ^ the recording quality is really stellar. Pig is HOT, Phil is chunky and phat, Bobby takes a solo that's fast and tight, and Jerry comes in and takes it away, shredding it up. This is a must listen
