Fun S2 opener at one of the most overlooked shows of the year.

Great opener at perhaps the most underrated show of the year, at least based upon the ratings here...I have it as a Top 25 show of '72.

I think November '72 was the best period for this song, and this one is no exception. Phil crushes the ending.

Strand Lyceum

Stays a little too close to home for being this long IMO. I like the one from the night before better (and prefer the night before as a complete show).

Strand Lyceum

I like the 5/4 Paris version slightly better, but this is one of the best for sure.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
May 25, 1972
Strand Lyceum

This is one of the more energetic versions of the tour, I think...

Keith is playing a Fender Rhodes electric piano (as heard on "No Quarter," "Riders On The Storm," etc.), not a Hammond B3...
