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...

Stunningly gorgeous. I don't think I've heard wider dynamic contrasts on any other version, nor do I think I've heard them so smoothly executed on any other...

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!
