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.

Keith is great on this one, but Donna sounds like an Alabaman Yoko, I'm sorry. I usually defend her but this one is rough IMO.

Necessary bridge between the madness that precedes it and the sweet We Bid You Goodnight that follows...smooth landing of the spaceship, even if it lets us off in the middle of Area 51 lol
