Whoa. Can't believe this isn't listed. Possibly Jerry's finest ever performance on this song - 20+ minutes of RAW POWER

This one's got some boogy. Keith gives Jer a big kick in the butt during the 2nd jam and they just take off!

^ What he said. Some of the best Eyes soloing around...a top version of '73 without a doubt!

This one really grew on me...one of the better versions of '74 for sure

Definitly agree! The China>Rider, Playing, Here Comes Sunshine, and the whole 2nd set from He's Gone thru Morning Dew are superb.

This version is speedy, jazzy, and very tasty. Not quite the legend of 5/26 but definitely one of the best of '73.

the "Orange Tango" jam has a really cool middle-eastern(?) type flavor and definitely makes this version for me.
