This is hands down the best version of the bridge Melody in all of the recordings of the song of all time. The way he phrased it was perfection

Possibility I was in the audience that night. I caught MF at the Music Hall ftwice that year. First in March of 73 on his first American tour with the "British" band, then later in August that year. I was 18 yrs old. The put all the "minors" up in the balcony where all the cigarette smoke went straight up and then just hovered over the balcony. I came away smelling like a cigarette for days after. I was sitting behind the band and could see the trumpet section over their shoulders. Not once during three sets of music did they open their books. Not once. This would be the March gig because Billy Graham was on lead bone here. When I caught them in August Randy Purcell had replaced him. Lin Biviano is on lead tpt. Two other fellow ex-Buddy Rich alumni are in the tpt section as well (Wayne Naus and John DeFlon). Bob Summers is on 4th. Andy Macintosh is lead alto, Tony "Something" on tenor and Bruce Johnstone.

I always have to add this. There was a "green room" for the artist adjacent to the stage at the GAMH. When Randy Jone does his solo, the entire band left the stage and piled into the green room, leaving Jones alone. About five minutes later the door flies open and the band piles back out onto the stage...followed by a thick cloud of reefer smoke.

Great recording! The tenor sax is "Tony Buchanan" from Australia, a massive sound! Thanks for posting!
