Tight, well-sung and really buzzing with energy. Keith has some great flourishes.

Hilarious intro as Bob and Jerry come in out of time with Phil. Hot one once they get going -- especially Billy, who's really 'on' at this show...

Phil and Bill sound like a runaway box car in an Appalachian mine! Heady interplay during the solos.

Cool chording from Bobby and a very restless Phil during the verses, then Billy and Keith fire off the jack hammer at the end of Jerry's lyrical solo.

This one is pretty unique for a song that didn't change much night to night...

Maybe not the very best, but better than most! In the upper-echelon, for sure...

Beautiful version that captures the dreamy vibe of the studio version well...

Really starting to sound like '73, as is the case on a few other tunes this evening as well. Great version.

Heaps of fun indeed. Bobby must have been elated to have written such a good cowboy song...
