Metropolitan Sports Center

Sharp, delightful version. Supercharged Keith’s melodic lines will keep you guessing.

Do not miss! Jerry and Billy delicately dance across this while Phil subtly challenges the stability.

Very cohesive version with a noticeable snap. And Phil’s prominent in the recording.

Don’t miss this wild, careening thrill ride. Start at Playin’ to get the full effect.

Drums -> Space

Downs of Santa Fe

Vivid Drums followed by extraordinary Space: a bright, melodic Bob and Jerry jam, then bicycle horns and a rich TOO intro jam.

Shockingly different from the April – June versions I’ve heard. Moves through dramatically varied dynamics and textures, at times irreverent and at others almost disquieting. You need to hear this.

Alexandra Palace

A complete, fully formed version. By September, they had every part of the song and jam down pat. I’m surprised this bright, bubbling groove machine doesn’t have more votes, given the official release and all.

Jerry really strikes the last low E. A well-played version that renders an early vocal gaffe entirely forgivable.

Love the slick transition out of deep space.

Way good! This song was on fire in the late '70s.
