I love long, jammed out versions of this song, and it's worth hearing a shorter one to remind yourself of how beautiful the song is.

Nice show from what I've heard of it, and this one has great energy.

Nice version, with some emotive singing from Bob and Hornsby's accordion support.

Even the rockers have a bit extra, and this one > into "Johnny B. Goode."

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.

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.
