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.

Listening on the American Beauty 50th Anniversary Deluxe...this one has a cool pulse to it!

Seriously underrated IMO. This one really has that lysergic bubbling energy to it -- I rewinded to listen twice today!

^I'm listening to it for the first time today. Loved the Bird Song as well, haven't gotten to TOO yet.

Stellar version. Love Jerry's outro licks on this one!
