They really attack it as opposed to sauntering through it…one of the most energetic I’ve heard! Don't let an audience tape scare ya...

Really great solo from Jerry — fast, banjo-style picking

Starts with some Buddy Rich-style hi-hat play…sounds like he’s doing that thing Buddy would do playing the bottom hat with his left hand fingers!

Heaps of fun indeed. Bobby must have been elated to have written such a good cowboy song...

Great start to the solo from Jerry, but then he kind of disappears for a bit. That's nitpicking, though...still a very nice version.

Shame about the slight cut and the lyrical flub...great version otherwise. This might be my favourite show of December, which seems to an underrated/forgotten month...

Century II Convention Hall

I decided I'd listen to this show on my drive today. Was going to check something on my phone before I pulled out of the driveway, but when my phone connected to the Bluetooth, it started playing right away -- LOUD. I thought "I guess I'm leaving NOW!" Charged up PL here...

Wow! Definitely underrated. 34 purposeful, cohesive minutes. Securely '72, but definitely hints at '73. I hear some '70 in there too...
