Whoa, I can't believe this hasn't been submitted. Great vocal and four minutes of sublime outro solo. Check it out!

Phil is high in the mix. One of the best '71 versions, I believe.

Although this is a nice rendition, there are many versions with a lot fewer votes that are superior. Maybe this is a case of 77 overrating?

Decent, I must say. I was at this show, which is rightly famous for its prototype Wall and the blowing of the tweeters. It had rained all day and we took turns standing in line in the rain -- we lived nearby and could shuttle back and forth. When you entered Maples, you got stamped: "DEAD". Most people opted for stamp on their hand, but quite a number of folks had it stamped on their foreheads. There was a lot of good lysergic available in those 73 to 76 years in which I did some occasionally. So the vibe in the arena was special.
