They could hardly screw up the "hard" songs in Fall '72, much less EP

I think '71-'72 was probably the peak for this song...

Typically great '72 version, falling between a great "Tomorrow Is Forever" and an epic DS

Nice, brief one towards the end of a great DS

Does anyone know why this was left off of the official release? One of the best and most unique of the tour IMO...Keith is fantastic on this one!

Probably my personal favourite; it's the version that made me fall in love with this song. Post-E72 versions aren't the same without Pig's organ; it just fits so well for a gospel song...

Surprised this isn't higher! Great version off of Ladies And Gentlemen...

Amazed this is so far down! It's one of my favourites because it has the '72-style jamming AND the second verse! I'm not sure why they stopped singing the second verse--took me awhile to get used to it, and I still don't like it. I guess maybe they thought it enabled smoother transitions into other songs, but they kept singing the second verse of "The Other One," and still pulled off some killer transitions with it...
