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.

I can't add anything new to what you've all said, but I full agree.

Thanks nonoyolker! I've got a hankering to explore, and I've learned a lot of great shows from this site. Care to recommend one of your favs?

I hate using the term "stand out" on a night when the entire band is playing *really* well collectively and individually, but this is absolutely a superior version. Many thanks for turning me onto this show!!

Nice reading. Slight misstep at the end of the solo, but that's me being super picky, and is the first possible one I've heard yet in the show. So glad you recommended this!!

Want to add something about Keith's playing on this... I don't know what rig he's on, but it sounds gnarly here.
