Solid (rare) second set BEW. Jam picks up the energy but mellow and concise throughout.

Really punchy version. The Oade brothers recording has everyone beautifully in the mix. One of my favorite AUD's.

Any version after '72 with a Sweet Suzy deserves an immediate upvote - really builds both playing and vocally

My dog literally perked its head and ears up when it heard the final solo when I was playing the vinyl release. Totally heady + Keith is the man!

That roar during "Just like New York City" is just awesome - fantastic version.
