Tight, well-sung and really buzzing with energy. Keith has some great flourishes.

Hilarious intro as Bob and Jerry come in out of time with Phil. Hot one once they get going -- especially Billy, who's really 'on' at this show...

Phil and Bill sound like a runaway box car in an Appalachian mine! Heady interplay during the solos.

Cool chording from Bobby and a very restless Phil during the verses, then Billy and Keith fire off the jack hammer at the end of Jerry's lyrical solo.

This one is pretty unique for a song that didn't change much night to night...

Listening on the American Beauty 50th Anniversary Deluxe...this one has a cool pulse to it!

Seriously underrated IMO. This one really has that lysergic bubbling energy to it -- I rewinded to listen twice today!

^I'm listening to it for the first time today. Loved the Bird Song as well, haven't gotten to TOO yet.

Stellar version. Love Jerry's outro licks on this one!
