This live concert recording was just released as a part of the Moving Pictures 40th Anniversary set and it's a fantastic recording. Moving Pictures was arguably their best and most popular album and this was the tour supporting that album. It's hard to believe it's been 40 years since they released it.
Neil's lyrics are essentially about being famous and it's not quite what everyone thinks it's like. Neil loved playing and making music, but not the fame side of things.
The song sounds pretty straightforward on the surface, and much of Neil's drumming is fairly straightforward rock drumming. But the odd times abound and it's often in 6/4, 3/4 and 7/4, in addition to sections in standard 4/4 time.
The best parts are a couple extended fills later on, one at the very end, which is one of his classics. (I didn't quite nail them in the video.) I also love his playing at the first part of each chorus, when it's in 3/4. He plays a couple 16ths on the ride bell, which is simple, but adds interest to his pattern. The first drum entrance of the song is also very cool. A couple double bass "ruffs" into toms, then some syncopated hits with snare flams and a choked cymbal.
