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.

possibly the most energetic version I've ever heard. Best of '73? that's too hard to decide, but i'd vote for it.
