Keith really adds some intensity. Do you know where your train is at 2am?

I can't believe this one isn't here. Short but very sweet.

Whoa, I can't believe this hasn't been submitted. Great vocal and four minutes of sublime outro solo. Check it out!

He's Gone

After only 15 "and nothing's going to bring him back"s, we get what has to be the best outro solo by Jerry for this song. Possibly the best, this is #1 for me unless I hear one better.

Phil's best vocal performance and tasteful backup make this one by far the best. I like how he can make the word "flame" at least six or seven syllables.

Coltranish intensity. Keith is especially expressive here, and Jerry is driven to some very fast playing because Billy is relentless. Until about 13 minutes in, that is. This is some of that jazzy stuff that 73 and 74 are known for.

Pershing Municipal Auditorium

What about more of that wordless "vocalizing" from Donna? Very unpleasant.

Bob attempting to ruin his vocal cords at the end ruins this for me. Way too many times he did this.
