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...

I'm really loving these '72 versions...they don't drag at all, as it sometimes could in later years.

Paramount Theater

The jam was giving me slight hints of the '71 "Hard To Handle" jams, actually. Great, unique version...

Celebratory indeed...great (pre-OMSN) capper to one of my favourite '72 shows!

Stays a little too close to home for being this long IMO. I like the one from the night before better (and prefer the night before as a complete show).

I like the 5/4 Paris version slightly better, but this is one of the best for sure.
