As is typical of this era of the band, Keith totally owns this version. I can't get enough of just how tasty his piano fills are here.

Opens set two with energy. Keith and Jerry duel it out the whole way through the song.

Love versions of this track from 72 and 73, and this one's no exception. Keith's piano is great, Jerry's playing with gusto, everyone's locked in.

Keith's gentle keys add SO much to this version - a very emotive rendition, just as it should be

A big showcase for Jerry's vocals - he's nice and aggressive here. Keith and Billy sound great as well backing him.

Feel Like A Stranger

Definitely NOT overrated. It may not be the best, but WOW does it set the tone for the rest of the evening. Brent does everything and more, the drummers are great, it's just plain awesome. :)

Best ever, in my book. And it's not even close. So many movements, so many big moments, endless excellent jams, SUPER long, and segues beautifully into Eyes.

LOVE this version. 47 minutes of pure magic, with Donna playing on oboe and Vince on the maracas. Plus, the segue into Cream Puff War is tight.

Perfect version, through and through. I’m surprised this one doesn’t have more votes, considering it’s from a classic and iconic show.

I think you might have the wrong date. Did you mean 8/13/75?
