Cumberland Blues

Springfield Civic Center

Tight frolic, without the verge-of-chaos coal car vibe from the era. Bobby's contrib. is spot on, and Jer drops a "Went to Toledo" quote.

Black Throated Wind

Springfield Civic Center

A perfectly rendered, tightly orchestrated soaring arc from one of the most inexplicably underated shows of Fall '72. Listen in: Bobby's in pure form.

I have trouble understanding why this isn't already here, other than the embarrassment of riches that is Fall '72.

One of the best I know. Hard chargin' and up tempo hot stuff.

Bites down hard, with a potent electric twang, plus Keith is full of surprises here.

I disregarded this show for too many years, and I'm not sure why now, 'cause its got the goods on every number. This Dew owns its votes. Listen and love.

It sounds like Keith has twenty fingers. Killer piano work on this uptempo jumper.

Everything about this set just kicks ass. FreedomHaul said it well.

Hadn't listened to this show on the box set yet, and sweet jeezus this PiTB got a big upgrade. Beg, borrow, or rip the box version and be amazed. Any show that kicks of with this kind of monster is going to be very good indeed. The good just gets better.

The SSDD is over-the top. Total balls-to-the-wall jam.
