Hard-swingin' version with lots of oomph behind it. Sweet show.

A dynamite set opener, worth the ride in spite of some rough aud/soundboard patches.

Phil in good form, high energy and an epic 1st set. A must for '73 fans.

More hard rockin' than others in the tour. Stretches out a bit more too, though rough in places has great energy.

Beautiful harmonies on the vocal here. Nice and tight energy.
Playin' In The Band

I think lining up the Playin's from '71 until the hiatus is a good a study as any into how the band kept evolving. E72 is one of my favorite eras from it too, and this one doesn't disappoint. Nosiree: It starts off a bit mellow and then builds a good head of steam. By minute six or so it's got the force of a rocket. Good pick.

Way solid: One of those building and building versions that comes to a huge climax with everyone hitting it at once. Bravo.

Keith, Billy, and Phil are in perfect synchronous mindmeld underneath Jer's note-for-note masterwork.
The Other One
May 13, 1972
Lille Fairgrounds

This one left some scars in Lille: At times it's like the mother of all freak-outs by that friend who some friend brought and who had no business eating all that chemistry. Then spontaneously it's the soundtrack to another f'in movie and you're watching your own mind from another one, T h e O t h e r O n e to be precise. There's a hint of Spanish to it for a bit, but man they just went completely off the chain here. The whole show is a pleasure, not a false step anywhere.
