I usually don't care about this song, but this is a superior take. Highlights are the ripping solo and agreeable vocals throughout.

The reason we all love 1970 and the two set acoustic/electric format. Don't miss the NRPS set from this night either!

Rare, gut-wrenching ballad.

Opening of a very famous show. It's like you're in the balcony with the AUD.

Nice peppy version to open the show, nice solo, and I loved hearing someone near the taper snort with laughter when Bobby flubs a line.
China Doll

I'm a little biased, but I think this Eyes > China Doll is a killer combo. And did they play those extended outros in '74? I've not heard one yet, but I might have missed one...

It's nice to hear them do the "song" part (before solos/explorations) with this much energy. And the rest of the song doesn't disappoint.

I only heard the matrix, but think this is a very nice version!

I think this song hits a strong resurgence in the 90s. This is an excellent specimen if you're hunting around for something outside of the 70s.
