Drags at first, but Jer's soloing builds beautifully on his new Wolf. Historical if only for that but also a passionate, sweet version.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Aug. 1, 1973
Roosevelt Stadium

Jer's b-day. Sweet jamming version with great vocals, in spite/because of what sounds like a cold/sore throat. Brilliant show all around.

Closes 1st set with a smooth but up-and-jumping version.

Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad

Roosevelt Stadium

Jumping version capping off a blazingly great show. With a nice mellow outro, too. The crowd and the boys just seem so full of joy and love.

Loose Lucy

Roosevelt Stadium

The boys experimented with Lucy till they dropped her and this here's a gritty gutbucket blues version. Essential '73 for you Lucy chasers out there.

Playin' In The Band
Sept. 24, 1972
Palace Theatre

Uptempo, but with some wicked jams that get a bit dark in places. Still, it's a blazing hot Playin' that should get more love than it has here. The Jerry Moore AUD on the archive covers the unpatched gap on the more popular soundboard version.
Bird Song
Sept. 24, 1972
Palace Theatre

This one has a muscular, intense energy to it. Comparing this show to the one the night before is no contest. They were on all night here.
Cumberland Blues
Sept. 24, 1972
Palace Theatre

The best Cumberlands have that feeling of being slightly out of control, like a coal car speeding down tracks laid deep in the mine, losing breaks, blowing switches and shooting sparks. This one's got it in aces.
Black Throated Wind
Sept. 24, 1972
Palace Theatre

Tremendous emotional arc from cool strut at the beginning rising rising into a walk-through-walls powerful climax. '72 was indeed a killer year for this chronically under-estimated monster.
Wharf Rat
Sept. 23, 1972
Palace Theater

A stunner. Beautiful, emotive playing that prefigures the absolute apogee of WR (June '74) by almost two years. Probably to best song of the show, too.
