As far as these pre-August 74 versions go, pretty darn good; certainly far better than Veneta

Wow. Jerry really blasts out the middle bit; excellent end jam, just a great one

Surely one of the best versions of the disco era. Delilah Jones was the mother of twins nine times over here....poor Delilah

I'm not sure how anything here can be sitting higher than the 73-4 versions, but yeah this is good
