'73 versions much preferred, and this early one comes through big-time

Universal Amphitheatre

To me, this show epitomizes what the boys were really all about...it has Everything you could want. Execution, soul, creativity, spontaneity, gaiety, banter, and goosebumps.

Gotta listen to the AUD here...I'm glad to see this one being voted for, but the link goes to a lesser recording in my opinion.

Pauley Pavilion - University of California

Red Rocks Amphitheatre
