Bill lays down possibly the tightest groove i've ever heard on this song, doesn't even need a flashy high energy solo to be a top tier version

Beautiful version of a song that normally doesn't really captivate me, especially great because Keith is high in the mix like he deserves to be

Super underrated version, as the song comes to a close Jerry is having none of it and does another insane solo

A few flubs at the start, but they make up for it by playing for their life afterwards, crazy intensity

Oh my god just listen to Keith's solo on this, the first few bars when he starts the melodic phrase and starts spreading it over multiple octaves is brilliant. . Edit : by always being so fixated on Keith's solo to try to comprehend what he is playing to be able to replicate it I never really noticed just how insane Bob's playing is during the second solo section, there are basically 2 ridiculous solos going on at the same time and none of them are by a lead player, I love this band

I agree this is a great version to show the progress of the song's evolution, clearly presenting the shift to the more laid back versions of early 1974 and later years. I personally feel like this song, just like Row Jimmy, peaked very early in its evolution (3/24/1973 having my favorite versions of both songs), but this one is for sure up there

I'm not even going to bother arguing if this is the best S>F ever since everybody can decide that for themself, I am however frankly mind blown at the multiple reviews calling Keith's playing bad. "Keith's unimaginative playing", as quoted directly from Tipaag78, is the most ridiculous statement I have seen this year and it directly shows you simply don't understand how music and playing together works. Even if you don't like the specific notes Keith plays, Keith's main role in this band is to provide melodic structures for Jerry to play over, and Jerry's playing is directly inspired by the melodic phrases Keith introduces. He isn't just playing his own parts, he is also thinking ahead about what the other musicians are going to play and reacting to it before it even happened to make it all blend together, even as a drummer myself I listen to what Keith does the most when playing GD music. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion obviously, but you simply can not call the person that ties this entire thing together "uninspired", listen to about a minute of the 3/24/1973 Row Jimmy if you somehow need convincing

Can't decide between this one and the one from the 23th of May from the same year for my favorite Promised Land. The Lyceum one has a great laid back vibe and great interplay, but man this Berkeley version just blasts off.

Lots of intricate interplay in a song that is normally pretty straight forward in this period, this really is just one of those shows where they are completely locked in and pretty much every song is played super well ,and in a very creative way
