No doubt there's a little schmaltz factor on the lyrics and all, but Bobby and Donna just wash over you on this one like a wave of lovely heartache.

Rabble-rousing banger here. Jerry kicks it up and up and the crowd just loves it.

Totally overlooked. One of the sweetest of the year. Rolls in at almost 6 min, closing a beaut set. I'm setting this to auto replay now. Check it out!

Overlooked! Comes out of a smokin' LIG and has that smokey, slinky, silky smolder of the best of '76.

More and more I'm convinced that the earliest Samsons are the best. So confident, so full of strut and swagger. Any other era with such consist force?

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....
