Turn On Your Love Light

Community Concourse
Wait a minute! Hard to figure how this one hasn't been posted yet. Very solid all 'round performance by all.

Clear, pure, and beeyootiful. The boys' voices are on, the sound well mixed, and all is well.

Hard to Handle

Community Concourse
Tight, sweet version. Doesn't have the inferno element from some at the top, but a strong one nevertheless.

Comes in super sweetly after a short and scary TOO, like feather whispers needed to get the mind back in the body. Good trip guiding, really.

Bobby's Satan's-goina-getchya vocals add to the wild speedy visciousness of this monster.

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.

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.
