I think '71-'72 was probably the peak for this song...

Typically great '72 version, falling between a great "Tomorrow Is Forever" and an epic DS

Nice, brief one towards the end of a great DS

I've yet to find a bad one from '72...

Another excellent '72 version. Seems like this show is one of the most under-the-radar great '72 shows...

A few verses are omitted, which is too bad, because it's a killer version.

Beautiful, elegant...what an opener!

Love Billy's toms-only fills during the verses -- haven't heard him play another version quite like it...

This one feels a bit faster than most.

I have mixed feelings about this one. It functions very well to stitch together the great versions of Truckin', Morning Dew and Sing Me Back Home, and the transition from Truckin' is fantastic for sure, but TOO itself doesn't get nearly as intense as other versions on the tour do. I'd even say 5/24 is the better of the two Lyceum versions. Not particularly close between this one and 4/26, 5/3, 5/7, 5/10, among a few others from the tour IMO.
