to a Blind Horse, bolstered by the success of Stewart's solo work, became a worldwide hit, peaking at number 2 on the UK Albums Chart and number 6 on the U. The song, which clocks in at just under nine minutes, comprises some involvement from the audience before going back to barrel-house blues. It was also released at the same time in the above form as part of the complete recordings box set 1970-1975: You Can Make Me Dance, Sing or Anything.
