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

Absolutely lovely version. Jerry's vocals are spot on and crisp.

This is so perfectly paced. Delicate and patient, to a chilling peak. Love instances where the boys show that they can still dial into the magic in the later years.

Always loved this monster Fire. Such a deep cut - very heady for any era. Oregon sparked the best in the boys

Meadowlands Arena

Phil is all over this like stink on a monkey. Jerry shred drives the crowd into a frenzy. Super peaky finish. Choice!

The jam in this is super hot and creative. Relatively short it may be, but this packs a nice punch.
