Pretty good climax on this one, which is the key to the song IMO. All-around solid version, surprised it's not on here yet.

They sound a bit bored with it to my ears until Phil kicks them into gear around the 4:00 mark. Probably smart that they gave it a break after '71...

More relaxed pace than usual, which allows Bob to give a nice, thoughtful vocal performance.

^Yeah, it is a strong Keith version. Whole-heartedly agree that it shouldn't be #1 though -- that honour belongs to 5/17/77 Tuscaloosa IMO.

This is sometimes a "meh" song for me (although it's been growing on me recently), but this version wowed me today.

Great version and a great little solo from Keith!

Brisk, crisp and beautiful...like a sunset drive through the Nebraska cornfields it was played in.

Very well- and carefully-sung by Bobby. Nice!
