For a song with less diversity from one version to the next, this one is better than most, and rare coming so late in the show...

Reminds me a bit more of the Europe versions than the Fall ones surrounding it somehow...not that they're all that different, I guess.

Fantastic version...way underrated IMO. The rubato feel they were able to achieve on songs like this in the one-drummer era disappeared post-hiatus...
Brokedown Palace

Boston Music Hall

This is the only time DS and Brokedown were ever played side-by-side, let alone flowing into each other...

Hollywood Palladium

Like Veneta's EP, it takes on a different buzz coming out of an epic DS...
Truckin'
Aug. 12, 1972
Sacramento Memorial Auditorium

This one is a ripper...perhaps not as scorching as 7/18/72, but very hot in its own right.
