Blissful, otherworldly, mellow (but intense) transition...why wasn't this on the Dick's Picks?!?!

constantly shifting gears from firey to spacy, hardly lets up for full 23 mins. A surprising gem from Euro '74!

A unique, interesting version due to the "china white". Has an almost country flavor with what sounds like a lot of slide guitar. A cool jam for sure.

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

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.
