"The vocals are amazing, the drums, guitar, bass...everything becomes one and lifts the song to the sky...When Steven Tyler comes in and screams: I am baaaaaaaaaaaaaack!! Fantastic. And then it gets so cool in the end when he goes: ridin' HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH.."
Ha.. I must say, that's the best text version of a song I've ever read. Saddle is one of my all-time favourite rock songs too. Incredible intro.

Not as an encore though, but by request. Whether this is true, I cannot confirm. Only part of it was played as part of the medley back then. It was part of the show though, not by request.
That is Black Queen, NOT Master Stroke ;-)

The most common recording featuring this medley is their Hammersmith Odeon Xmas Eve show of 1975. It deserves a proper release, even if the video is incomplete!
