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.

Too bad they didn't try this more often in '74...very beautiful, tender rendition.

Just got the Pacific Northwest '73-'74 box set and threw this on...very nice version.

Slinky indeed. Neat to have Jerry playing the organ part during the verses on this one. One of my favourite Pig raps as well...

Yes, Bob is hoarse, but everything else about this one is great! One of the longer ones of E72 as well, nearing 8 minutes...

This is one of my favourite versions, if not my favourite...what a way to open an epic second set!
