Drums -> Space

Madison Square Garden

Bill and Mickey start chaotically but reel it back by 04:30 and get groovy. Space feels like exploring a classic Alien planet from an old serial.

Keiths first show. Saddens me that I had to be the one to add this. It's good!

Addictive as hell drums. One of the best I heard. Mickey kills it with the percussion weirdness. Feels like a precursor to what Dead and Co's sound would be like during weird spacey jams.

Concertgebouw

I prefer this Playing to most 72 versions. Nice and chill.

Concertgebouw

Love how crisp this one sounds. Don't skip it. Just as good as Wembley 8.
Next Time You See Me

Bickershaw Festival

Voted just for that epic happy birthday song at the end.
He's Gone
May 7, 1972
Bickershaw Festival

This is JUST as good as Amsterdam and could have easily been the one to make it onto the E72 album. Don't do yourself a disservice by skimming this, despite the shockingly low vote count. Also, sounds metal af stoned.
