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.

I'd say Keith is the real star here. He just goes bonkers on this thing.

Yup, both the intro jam from Space and the outro jam, which is essentially a bonus Playin' jam, are fire. One of my absolute favorites.

I'm going to echo the "this one of the tightest versions ever." Sublimity is subjective, but this is objectively very well played. Musicians' Dead.

By Sept. '76 this song is really stretching out and realizing its potential. Compares pretty favorably to the '77s: a little sweeter and more delicate, less sweeping and grand.

Crystalline beauty. Love the lilting way Keith plays in '76, too.
