Like the night before, a great version from a legendary show that I'm surprised wasn't already here...

Shocked this wasn't here already...gorgeous version from a legendary show, about two weeks before they recorded the studio version.

For a song with less diversity from one version to the next, this one is better than most, and rare coming so late in the show...

Amazed this is so far down! It's one of my favourites because it has the '72-style jamming AND the second verse! I'm not sure why they stopped singing the second verse--took me awhile to get used to it, and I still don't like it. I guess maybe they thought it enabled smoother transitions into other songs, but they kept singing the second verse of "The Other One," and still pulled off some killer transitions with it...
