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.

That peak around the 8:00 mark sure sneaks up on you...WOW! Billy's touches as it winds to a close are extra-sweet on this one as well.

Love how Billy plays through "The Main Ten" between the first two verses. Fantastic, intense jam as others have said. Phil does some awesome stuff!
