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.

Nice groove to this one. Sometimes it can almost be too chaotic...

What a treat to get this as an opener!

One of the best, I think. Has a trippy quality with Keith on the Rhodes and Phil in a boisterous mood. Great for just melting into your chair...

I know it's easy for one version to bleed into the next, but this is a good one.
