I don't know what it is about this version...it has vocal miscues, but is just epic at an epic run.

A similar version to most from May 77 with some exceptions. Not sure why the next night at same venue is ranked so much higher.

If all the others are on here from May, this one shuldn't be forgotten. However, most are tough to differentiate from May 77.

Ok. I will agree this is epic. The china cat is sick.

Pretty standard for 1972. Not sure the hype.

I prefer the May/June 1977 versions, but this has one of the best first solos and then later crescendos that were more than usual for 1974. This easily should be ranked higher. I can't believe how good this version is.
