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 agree with the comments on Set II. I was a long time fan of the "NFA" from Barton Hall, but this might top it...

Would love an AUD or matrix of this...

Really beautiful stuff!

Listened to this on NYE. Dimly remember some sweet major-chord jamming, something that got dark, some electronic jamming that scared me (maybe the trippiest thing I've ever heard), and coming out of it through the "Eyes" and "China Doll. Powerful stuff.

Wow, nice version. Just streamed part of the show before and after this, and I'm going to need to revisit this in a serious way. Heard there's a top-notch matrix of this, working on the download now... (edit) This is a superior version. Doesn't lose its place or get self-indulgent.
