agree with grendel, this version touches all the right places - singing not strained, not off key, sweetened by Donna - and the playing is, well, playful - unhurried and strong.

Just so fun and, in spots, hits the higher plane with the rhythm in the pocket, all instruments firing. Sung with gusto. Bill and Bob do right, too - agree that Jerry and Keith shred.

Have to agree with hvd sleuth. RJ guitar solos exceptional. Magic in the music for some long stretches and, with the perspective of all these years, an amazing show - full of joy, drive, creativity and that special 1973 skillfulness. Fast where it should be and slowed down where it counted.

Definitely a continuation of the spell that was cast in HCS, this one is very nicely done indeed - love the way it ends and then WRS starts up, like water gently washing up a beach.

Wonderful transition from Eyes. Really beautiful. Transition out just as nice. They got this one right.
