Kind of shocked so many songs from this show hadn't been nominated...top-notch '72 IMO, and this China>Rider is no exception...

Big fan of the '72 "Deal"'s...they 'go down' in a hurry.

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...

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...
