This one sounds great,Keith being new, the pianos way prominent in this version/show which i love..Drums also up in the mix.
Bird Song

Madison Square Garden

Great work here,this one pops..I never knew why they didnt take this song to Europe in 72,or why it was dropped after 73 but i sure am glad it was brought back out for the 80s..Goes nicely together with a lil herb..+1

This is brilliant..The Dusborne matrix sounds crispy,Billy n KG layin down the groove with JG n Phil locked in ,riding the waves..Vocally strong too,despite no Donna.
The Other One

San Diego International Sports Arena

Even more crazy when you think that it wasnt rehearsed and these guys could just go at it without setlists and come up with a medley like this..Thats what sets this band apart from the rest- magical.
