Playin' In The Band

Rossevelt Stadium

Hard-driver with intense 10/4 jamming throughout. Phil and Billy give it extra oomph. Great mix with Keith and Jer up front and clear.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
July 18, 1972
Rossevelt Stadium

One of those rare ones where China Cat plods a bit and they move into a blazing hot Rider. Great show all around, too.

Keith plays beautifully on this.

Brown Eyed Women

Like with all Winter '73s the band is in excellent form. Bobby's slashing chords behind Big Jer just make this one an uptempo gem.

Sweet and lovely. Jerry's virtuoso fillagree behind Bobby's smooth-as-smoke vocals just slay me here.

Not the psychedelic exploration of death and dying BP can be, but a smooth low-boil groove with great soul.

"Cumberland Polka". Just simply amazing.

Fragile like a little bird, then soaring. A beautiful jewel.

Typically a FFW moment for me (go tape!) but this one held my attention and gets a star. Bobby's on!
