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.

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.

Really stellar transitional FGJ.

Whole 2nd set qualifies for one of the top Phil Zone Jam Sets of the era. WRS/LIG>Spanish>Eyes>China Doll. Goddamn, it's good.

Pauley Pavilion - University of California

Date, plate, slate, Koweit: Doesn't matter to me, 'cause this show tears the roof off the sucker. May be one of my top 10 shows of all time. Goddamn, it's good.

Oakland Auditorium

Shreddingly fast guitar work. Jerry's voice sounds young and fresh. Great version, great second set, great show.

Berkeley Community Theatre

Something supremely special with Playing' after Europe '72. Everyone loves Veneta, but don't overlook these peaks from the same week. Always seemed like they pulled it all out just a little bit furthur for the Berkeley crowd.
