Looks Like Rain

No doubt with a better source this would be high up on the list. Listen to Jerry's supersonic flyby as Bobby and Donna caress the out chorus.

Help us Charlie Miller, you're our only hope! Seriously though, this is a blisteringly hot version. Don't miss it.

Club Front Studio

Very cool studio rehearsals with new grooves and wildly flanged sound. Fall '76 versions are some of the best, and here they are still in the egg.

Jerry tears this one apart with a shredding solo. The link here is bass-heavy SBD with some decay, but just brilliant playing by all.

Colt Park

Notable for a 6-min opening jam that comes out of Wharf Rat, very cool, mislabeled "Drums". The GDTRFB smokes too.

Seems like they really come together on this one after a few numbers that, while excellent as only Europe '72 can be, didn't all have that x-factor.

I'm inclined to agree. Note to note perfect.

Kwork, you got that right. This could be the hit radio version that never was. I think this is my favorite of what is, in spite of myself, one of those songs that pops up in my mind whenever I feel done wrong wrong wronged. This one is muscular, ballsy, macho, and stoopid, just like me. It's exactly what I feel when I want to tell her all about it, knowing it's coming back on me 10 times harder, just about 10 seconds later.

Intense 1st set He's Gone??? You know it's good. This show bristles and pops from minute one. Every song has that intensity of purpose that characterizes this tour. Why do we crusties go on and on about '72? Listen to it, there isn't a slack minute. Every note, even on the songs we came to accept as throw-aways. Tell me I'm wrong if you can....

Fully shredding. Totally on top of it. This is one that made the age. '72 Dead in top form, uh huh....
