Short succint and distilled to its '74 essence. Plus Donna's sexiest "Ohhhhhhhhh" ever.

Sweet as honey. Holds together in perfect harmony and never drags.

Pushes against the melody: Late '71 and the song's potential is about to burst free in the months ahead. You can feel it, and it's good.

For any SoF doubters out there, this one is as convincing as they come. Everything comes together nicely, and there isn't a single downer on deck.

Faster than most. And mad funky.

One of the best Bobby-Jerry meltdown conversations during a TOO that I know of: Helped by fine stereo panning for the different guitars and great sound.

Rising and falling (y'all) intesity and super-charged rhthymic complications make for an interesting version. Keith on Rhodes is nice and of course we've got great sound for the Kezar shows.

Absolutely burning. Great improvements on the C.Miller versions. Keith's contribution really shines. Kezar gets a lot of play of course, but check out 22, 26, 28, 30 and 31 March for total Playin' headiness, some of which are arguably more interesting, tighter and more shredding than here. (Headphones only for some with sound quality issues.)
