I typically find the post '72 versions of this song to be a bit of filler, but this one has some nice accents from Keith and some ramp-up ending chaw

Relatively short, given later incarnations, but this one has wonderful energy behind it, deliberate playing, and a delicate finish

This one is tight and has a lovely, fluttering melodic peak. A choice version and a go-to track on the new RFK release, for sure
