Jerry's having a great night, and check our Brent in the segue to Eyes!

Keith (and everybody) is so on point in this twangy humdinger.

It's a great little tune when they play it like they did in summer '73.

Oh my god!!! This performance is absolutely competitive with the other greats from ’77! Audio quality is the only reason it’s languishing down here with just three votes. The AUD’s really not bad, though, and this is well worth hearing.

Intense, heartfelt, and beautifully sung by all. One of the better late ’70s versions I’ve heard.

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Phil’s bombs, Bobby’s harmonics, Brent’s intricately darting runs, Jerry letting himself be drawn Out, finally Rhythm Devils-enhanced Space ... it’s all here. Wow.

Fresh and intriguing outro jam here! Don’t just listen to the S>F.

I am not surprised to see this version at the top. I was really charmed by Brent's soloing in this, but the whole performance is very well done.
