Tight and hot. Something in the vocals at this show went just perfect too, adding to the intensity.

Greatness in this one: Powerful ensemble vocals.

Phil & Ned: By far the most compact and Space-like. Gargantuan Martian landscapes and insect-shaped UFOs. Sounds like Frippertronics. Heavy stuff.

Fully rockin' blowout to close a lovely summertime 1st set: Not my favorite song, but this one really kicks.

Mega-monster just dives into complete madness with a Phil solo for the ages and wild tweaking from all sides. Much fun.

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.
Wharf Rat
Sept. 23, 1972
Palace Theater

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.
