Swingin' energetic version. Really kicks at the end.

This one crackles with energy. Bobby really lets it rip.

Super tight version with a great mix and some nice harmonies.

Another blazing version from a prime Cumberland year. Doesn't quite match 11/17, but is still oh so fine.

Sweet and mellow, well played by the band, and nicely sung by Jerry too.

Playin' In The Band
Sept. 28, 1972
Stanley Theatre

The best of the September '72 Playins IMO. Great work from every band member, and a long, interesting jam full of peaks and valleys. I especially love the way Jerry unleashes a final burst of energy to carry the jam back home.

They hit the perfect swing and dynamic shifts on this one.

9/17 was my favorite from September, but I think I like this one even better.

This is my favorite September '72 version. Vocals are a little low, but Phil is up front and riffing hard.

I really like the solo on this one- reminds me of the Allmans.
