Jerry and Keith are just on fire behind the beautiful vocal duet. This show is underappreciated. Give it a spin....

Always preferred the fast ones, but listening to Jerry rip up the solos here and it makes sense. Killer version here (with a rude AUD patch though).

Has a crisp and tight disco shuffle prefiguring the '77 sound. Jerry's solo fills are precise and brilliant. Donna's harmonies are as sweet as ever.

Nice on its own, and brilliant as part of a great PITB-SS-Wheel-PITB sandwich. You can hear the fun their having. Short but sweet.

From Phil's opening swoops to Jerry's passion-vox, and pristine soloing, this is a killer stand alone SB. Surprised it's not here yet.

Bobby's really clear on the Miller mix, and it's excellent. Too many shows from '72 have him way way too far back in the sound. This is closer to what I remember it being like live.

Get some headphones for this, and marvel at just what Keith was capable of when he was at his best. This whole set is packed with underappreciated gems like this one: The band is in total mind-meld, while Keith is just spectacular throughout.

Transition to Rider rev's up and is just about to overheat when they pull it way back and start singing quite sweetly. Nice touch - but an awful cut in my version.

The first NFA has its moments and is worth a vote, but stick around for the lickety-split GDTRFB (seems like it's accelerating!) and Jerry lets you know just how much water he's got left in the well. The outro then picks up the energy and they close out on a blistering jam. Great stuff.

A real beaut with a perfect fade-out, ending a great 2nd hour-long jam.
