Ballsy and rockin with great energy, flows from HCS and then seamless into a great TOO. It's what's great about Truckin.

Just great. Fun, fast and tight: like a good horse race, after all.

Short and tight, follows a monster Bird Song and develops this great show's great energy.

Lifts you off the ground like an ocean wave: A beautiful, buoyant, Phil-driven jam.

Seems like they really come together on this one after a few numbers that, while excellent as only Europe '72 can be, didn't all have that x-factor.

I'm inclined to agree. Note to note perfect.

Kwork, you got that right. This could be the hit radio version that never was. I think this is my favorite of what is, in spite of myself, one of those songs that pops up in my mind whenever I feel done wrong wrong wronged. This one is muscular, ballsy, macho, and stoopid, just like me. It's exactly what I feel when I want to tell her all about it, knowing it's coming back on me 10 times harder, just about 10 seconds later.

Intense 1st set He's Gone??? You know it's good. This show bristles and pops from minute one. Every song has that intensity of purpose that characterizes this tour. Why do we crusties go on and on about '72? Listen to it, there isn't a slack minute. Every note, even on the songs we came to accept as throw-aways. Tell me I'm wrong if you can....

Fully shredding. Totally on top of it. This is one that made the age. '72 Dead in top form, uh huh....
