Winterland Arena

Amazed I get to submit this, especially from such a highly-renowned show. One of the best I've heard!

Very strong encore version at a great, seemingly underrated show.

Last from this show to be nominated...wraps up an excellent second set in style.

Curtis Hixon Convention Hall

Last piece of this brilliant show to be submitted. Billy unleashes some wild, tribal bashing to cleanse our palette between DS and Eyes

This one is a ripper...perhaps not as scorching as 7/18/72, but very hot in its own right.

I'm really loving these '72 versions...they don't drag at all, as it sometimes could in later years.
The Other One

Paramount Theater

The jam was giving me slight hints of the '71 "Hard To Handle" jams, actually. Great, unique version...

Palace Theatre

Celebratory indeed...great (pre-OMSN) capper to one of my favourite '72 shows!
Playin' In The Band
May 26, 1972
Strand Lyceum

Stays a little too close to home for being this long IMO. I like the one from the night before better (and prefer the night before as a complete show).
