Playin' In The Band
Nov. 24, 1972
Dallas Memorial Auditorium

Wow, seemingly a very overlooked gem. Tension and release, weaving effortlessly from mellow jam segments to soaring peaks, without screechy breakdown

Great Saint, though the goods are in the MLB > Dear Prudence jam that follows. I can only imagine the level of blue balls in the house for that tease

I was going from memory when I made the show opener comment and lord knows my memory is turrrrible... I am also a stickler for a tickler and will appropriately hang my head in shame. Version is solid as it gets though. Glad it's getting love!

For some reason, I've held off on this show forever. Was pleasantly surprised by the entire show and this Eyes is premium ish. Good post!
