Black Throated Wind

Long Beach Arena

The last of a whopping 73 plays in 1972, and a nice one to finish with...

Long Beach Arena

Perhaps not surprisingly, you can really hear the '73 sound starting to emerge here (and elsewhere in the show)...

Promised Land

Long Beach Arena

Good start to a very overlooked show. This was their most common opener in '72, kicking off 32 shows, this being the last of them (opens S2 on NYE).

Good version sandwiched between HCS and the big jam suite...

El Paso

Seattle Center Coliseum

Seems like this show needs more love around here...a few high vote-getters, but the whole thing rocks

Here Comes Sunshine
Nov. 14, 1973
San Diego International Sports Arena

Have to agree with what others have said about the loose-to-the-point-of-botched transitions. Also, Billy plays pretty much the entire song with the snares off...is it just me, or is this unusual?
And We Bid You Goodnight
Nov. 11, 1973
Winterland Arena

Bobby starts to bid the crowd "goodnight" as "Johnny B. Goode" finishes, but Jerry has other plans and leads them into this sweet version...
Playin' In The Band
Oct. 28, 1972
Cleveland Public Hall

This one gets quite out there, yet remains smooth and melodic...A+ from me. Shame about the cut. Love Bobby going for a high scream of his own during Donna's signature post-jam scream!
Candyman
Oct. 28, 1972
Cleveland Public Hall

First one in a little over a year is a good one!
Box of Rain
Oct. 28, 1972
Cleveland Public Hall

One of the better ones I've heard actually...tight with great vocals from Phil.
