Dec. '72 turns out to be a nice little peak for BEW. Perfect shuffle, air-play tightness, great soloing, just enough country. Bobby nicely audible.

A super-fun frolicing romp. They just seem to have loved playing this tune.

Pristine, air-play quality in a deep pocket with note-for-note perfection all 'round. Surprised not to see it here already.

Smokin' desperado polka here with superbly tight playing at a faster-than normal pace. A galloping riot and heaps of fun.

Shredding goodness, coming late in the set after a killer Star>Stella. Great show all around.

The Other One

McDonough Arena - Georgetown University

First Truckin'>TOO ever? If so, that's pretty cool. It's the first one I know of.
Good Lovin'

McDonough Arena - Georgetown University

Very fine jam, sparks flying, and Pigpen's vox is perfect. I'll be damned but around minute 14 there's a little backup rhythm that sounds like the Good Lovin' redux c. '78 or so.

Cgarces and jagraham84: Check out Sept 30, 1971 for the early prototype, if you dig this song in its electric form. Cheers!

Cleveland Music Hall

Anything gdtrfb recommends is a good listen and he's (she's?) not at all wrong here. This is an AUD-lover's Star, with all the perfect, moody, thematics of 1970. Builds and buds into glory. The only reason it's not higher is because it's only recently recovered. Enjoy!

Market Square Arena

Dreamishness-o-lisciousness. To 'get it' you should go back and hear the whole Playin'>d/s>wheel sequence. Go past the link here and find the Charlie Miller remix, obviously, for beautiful sound quality and balance.
