Dec. 12, 1973
Omni Coliseum

Maybe my favorite show from '73. I definitely like the noises the guitars make while packing up the harmonic chorus that leads into LIG.

Oakland Auditorium

Great version but my three go to sugar cubes are 12/27/77, 10/12/83 and 8/30/80 Luckily CRS is one of few songs I can tolerate from all eras and never get bored of it.
