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.

So dreamy and smooth — like this whole show. They don't all have to be Tiger...nice to have ones for many different moods.

I rarely go for post-pedal steel versions, but this one is gorgeous.

One of the best I've heard for sure!

Have to agree with what others have said about the loose-to-the-point-of-botched transitions. Also, Billy plays pretty much the entire song with the snares off...is it just me, or is this unusual?
