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.

^I noticed that too! Cracked me up because I always find that their intros sound similar, especially when they were both relatively new to me.
