Black Throated Wind

Alexandra Palace

Goofy ending, but...otherwise flawless take! My go to for this under-rated Bobby gem. The intro is jelly.
Bird Song
June 22, 1973
Pacific Coliseum

The keys, the harmonies and the delicate dreaminess of this version inch this one ahead of the Oregon '72 take. Both are badass though.

Great American Music Hall

Keith on the Fender Rhodes! Succinct and exciting take.
