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.

Great, spiralling slo-motion groove to this one. This show is climbing my ranks very quickly!

One of the best they'd played to this point, I'd say...

I think this could be my new favourite. I dare say a "perfect" version...

Keith's solo is fantastic here!

This one is dreamy indeed. Was listening last night as I watched the season's first snowfall out my window and it was magical.
