Agree with Carrion, the beautiful jam near the end is a nice little minute of bliss.

Not a huge Around and Around fan but dear God this is underrated! HOT HOT HOT. LISTEN IF YOU ARE EVEN ADJACENTLY INTERESTED IN AROUND AND AROUND!

Dane County Coliseum

This version reminds me of the one I saw Cosmic Charlie (the southeastern based tribute band) open with in Chapel Hill around 2010. Love a winter CR&S opener.
