What makes this one stand out for me is that Bobby is really high on the mix and you get to hear all the cool stuff he's doing.

15 minutes long DS, pretty epic for 68. Foreshadows the great Dark Stars to come.

The transition into He's Gone is just lovely

While I'm tiping this I'm listening to the 6/7/77 version which currently has only 4 votes, and in my opinion deserves to be as high a this version, if not higher. I don't think this version is overrated, the thing is that every other may 77 version is just underrated because they are very similar although they are consistently great

Doesn't particularly shine over any other may 77 performance of the song (they were all above average, but otherwise I don't see what it's doing in first place)
