More relaxed pace than usual, which allows Bob to give a nice, thoughtful vocal performance.

Not sure if it was intentional or a minor stumble, but at the very beginning Billy plays something that sounds like the clicking heels of cowboy boots

Unique bounce to this one...slower than usual for '74, but still neat.

Love how Billy plays through "The Main Ten" between the first two verses. Fantastic, intense jam as others have said. Phil does some awesome stuff!

A few slight lyrical flubs by Bobby, but otherwise a very nice version.

Some priceless banter from Bob before they launch into this one. Starts you off with a smile...as if Tennessee Jed doesn't always put one there anyway :)

Jerry gets pretty into the vocals towards the end compared to other '72 versions...
