They Love Each Other

War Memorial

This song gets better and better during the Spring '73 tour. Here it grooves with so much butt in it, just try to sit still.

Triumphant and building, reaches one peak after another. Beautifully harmonised.

So fine. Jer and Keith are so playful and so fast, Bobby's on.

Nice banging and clanging solos here and a damned fine backwoods country vibe to this whole first set.

Great high-energy show opener. 30-31 March '73 often overlooked. Give a listen and you wont regret it.

Playin' In The Band

Sounds unequivocally '72 from start to finish, predicting where this monster goes between Europe and Oregon in a few short months. Should be waaaaaay higher.

Pig/Keith chemistry out the wazoo, and that's not something you hear everyday. They're just perfect together.

Show is languishing down in the 2-3 votes per range, which doesn't do it justice at all. This is a smokin' barnburner. They were entirely in the zone from note one by this point in the tour. Give it an up.
Caution

MerryJerry, I've just been cramming them into Space, finally. There's no slot on here for "Phil & Ned" either, so I just overlook the anachronism and call it Space.

DonnieinMT, I'm real curious if you've got other dark stars that do it for you. Based on your comment, I think you're just not into spacey jams. Me, I could dig this one all night though, and its transitive nightfall is deservedly near the top of the list. The fact that they're all thumb wrestling throughout it to find their ways back into form and melody, but clearly having too good a time to stop, sets the tone just right. Where else could they go after starting each set with killer Playin's and Morning Dews?
