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.

Less than half the length of the other three on this run, but still great!

They really accelerate out of the Willam Tell bridge on this one!

Jerry's vocal delivery is really superb on this one.

Takes on a taunting tone at this tempo...could freak you out in a certain state.

Might just be my favourite I've heard so far -- spectacular. Jerry's vocals are gorgeous, and the dynamic swells are grand, yet smooth.
