Great early-70s vibe on this (esp. w/ Moore's AUD). Honky-tonk Keith!

Love the double opener, typically great playing from the time. Keith fans esp. should know this Palladium run.

Never really expands beyond the song’s material, but hard and well-played. Hear in context of set 2.

Nice peppy version to open the show, nice solo, and I loved hearing someone near the taper snort with laughter when Bobby flubs a line.

I'm a little biased, but I think this Eyes > China Doll is a killer combo. And did they play those extended outros in '74? I've not heard one yet, but I might have missed one...

It's nice to hear them do the "song" part (before solos/explorations) with this much energy. And the rest of the song doesn't disappoint.

I only heard the matrix, but think this is a very nice version!

I think this song hits a strong resurgence in the 90s. This is an excellent specimen if you're hunting around for something outside of the 70s.
