We need a Winterland version, don't we?

A laid back one. Phil's bass and Billy in the groove.

Everyone is on for this one. Great vocals, even by Donna. Why isn't this getting any love?

How can this not be voted up? Is no one listening to the summer of 71? You'd think the Phil Phans would be all over this. Instead, there's about 135 versions rated higher.

Goose bumps.

Fillmore East (Late Show)

Tasty. Focused. Nicely mixed. The drummers are all over this. As is Phil. It even "mellows out" a bit around 5:30 only to build again with some spirited soloing by Jerry. Then they do it again. Someone calls for more cowbell at the 9 min mark. A vastly underrated workout.

Should be higher. Vocals are about as good as it gets. A very focused Stephen, and then the 11. One of 1970's top sequences?

Off key. You're much better off listening to Harpur. Not exactly one of my favorite songs.
