Great Saint, though the goods are in the MLB > Dear Prudence jam that follows. I can only imagine the level of blue balls in the house for that tease

I always liked this version. The boys gel together nicely for a peaky crescendo

Jerry's voice is crisp, his playing is sharp, and Keith does a great job with atmospheric organ fills

Rare that you see a comment that just says "garbage" without any justification. This show is one of the few that I go back to from '95, so I listened to this version again with a critical ear. To me, the boys sound on. Bobby crushes the vocals, Jerry is dexterous and nimble with his leads, the band swells nicely at the peak/conclusion. Sure, it's not '72 era sound, but it's still a solid version.

Goddamn, no matter how many times I spin this one, it still SLAPS. Such a triumphant peak...

The outro jam from this gets super mellow, tingling, then boys start gearing it right back up to spin effortlessly into NFA closing. Very choice version
