Not sure if it was intentional or a minor stumble, but at the very beginning Billy plays something that sounds like the clicking heels of cowboy boots

Unique bounce to this one...slower than usual for '74, but still neat.

Not the very best, but all of the Europe '72 versions deserve to be on here...

Keith is very creative on this one. Great capper to an all-time great show!

Really wired version from all parties here amidst one of the best second sets (and shows) ever!

The harmonies are fantastic on this one. Not a song I'm usually a huge fan of, but I love this one!

Stunningly gorgeous. I don't think I've heard wider dynamic contrasts on any other version, nor do I think I've heard them so smoothly executed on any other...

So dreamy and smooth -- like this whole show. They don't all have to be Tiger...nice to have ones for many different moods.
