Great early-70s vibe on this (esp. w/ Moore's AUD). Honky-tonk Keith!

Love the double opener, typically great playing from the time. Keith fans esp. should know this Palladium run.

Never really expands beyond the song’s material, but hard and well-played. Hear in context of set 2.

Fantastic version, one of the greatest.

Agreed. Worth a listen, gets quite spacey (with Brent channeling some 70s electric jazz for good measure).

Cuca, you'll love the ripping jam into TOO. I've never heard anything like it.

This is a mighty fine version! I love your descriptions. As someone who just moved out of the great state of Maine, there's nothing like turning something great up, sitting out on the porch with something tasty to consume, and living the dream.

I think they actually rather mangle the transition (they're in different tempos for godssakes) but that's part of the magic for me.
