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.

They're on fire right out of the gate. After a beautiful, exploratory Bird Song they close the set with this psychedelic monster. Damn, but it just grows and grows.

I always loved it when my long strange trip kicked in right about the same time they rediscovered Bird Song again. Fuck this sounds so good. Thanks boys.
