'73 was a special year for He's Gone. Could Keith play any sweeter than on this version? I think not.

Man did I ever love Sugar Mag sandwich 2nd sets. It always signalled a dance marathon ahead. Add in my favorite Brent transition ever to Scarlet.

Probably needs to be separated here - Pig or No Pig versions . This being a brilliant Pig version of the song. He shines throughout this show, and gets excellent supporting vocals by the band with all around great playing.

Knickerbocker Arena

Some tight Brent playing in this Terrapin. Amongst my favorite of his work. Terrapon>MLB - yes please!

First - best. Clean concise and extremely well-played. You can tell from the first notes that this version was going to be special.

They take their time with the transition development. Both the Eyes and Big River are monsters.
