Jerry and Bob are both really good on this one. Phil and Bill drive it forward nicely as well -- doesn't drag at all like some do.

Really good, clean version. Some truly hilarious banter as they're adjusting their monitors before launching into it too...what a way to kick off the new box set!

Came on after 1/11/79 JS thanks to YouTube autoplay while I was in the shower and I had to jump out to see which show it was LOL...scorcher!

Billy is nuts on this one! Lots of 16th notes on the hi-hat early on, just pounding away on the bass towards the end!
Uncle John's Band

Baltimore Civic Center

This solo is tear-jerkingly good. Seriously...great capper to an excellent show in a month that's quickly becoming one of my favourites!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Boston Music Hall

One of the best I've heard in some time! Excellent, extended transition. One of the best sounding non-officially released SBDs of '72 as well!
