Phil and Bill sound like a runaway box car in an Appalachian mine! Heady interplay during the solos.

Cool chording from Bobby and a very restless Phil during the verses, then Billy and Keith fire off the jack hammer at the end of Jerry's lyrical solo.

This one is pretty unique for a song that didn't change much night to night...

Excellent version highlighted by a very jittery Billy with lots of ghost notes on the snare! Slightly botched ending, but otherwise great...

Billy really steals the show on this one...tosses in a variety of grooves, all to great success.

Love Pig's organ solo on this one
Good Lovin'

Jahrhunderthalle

Their foot was on the gas the whole way for this one! Somewhat short, but oh-so-sweet!
One More Saturday Night

Rotterdam Civic Hall

Does anyone know why this was left off of the official release? One of the best and most unique of the tour IMO...Keith is fantastic on this one!
Sing Me Back Home
May 4, 1972
Olympia Theater

Probably my personal favourite; it's the version that made me fall in love with this song. Post-E72 versions aren't the same without Pig's organ; it just fits so well for a gospel song...

Fillmore East

Surprised this isn't higher! Great version off of Ladies And Gentlemen...
