A solid, sweet rocker. Seems like MHUT had matured in '72 by this point to the stand-alone anchor that it remained until the end.

The total package, with everything this song was meant to have: Sadness, menace, self-consciousness, braggadocio, regret. A beautiful performance.

Hot steam. Starting around 5:30 Jerry blisters the world with fire.

Levels all a bit off, AUD a bit murky, but damned if this isn't the most glorious ensemble yowp this song can be. Joyous and loving: It's all there.

Brilliant, crisp ideas and tight ensemble playing on a warm Bear AUD. Just exactly perfect.

Not the psychedelic exploration of death and dying BP can be, but a smooth low-boil groove with great soul.

"Cumberland Polka". Just simply amazing.

Fragile like a little bird, then soaring. A beautiful jewel.

Typically a FFW moment for me (go tape!) but this one held my attention and gets a star. Bobby's on!
