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.

Well-played and sung indeed, returning to the studio tempo after some very fast versions in November (not necessarily a bad thing). The cooler pace does allow for more thoughtful/focused singing though; I don't think I've ever heard Phil nail the final line better!

Great way to put it...not the craziest of the year, but just a really nice version all around.

Promised Land was actually the opener, but this is a great version indeed...
Don't Ease Me In

Dallas Memorial Auditorium

One of two times they opened with this in '72, the other being exactly a month prior in Milwaukee...

About as good as you're going to get for this tune live. Between the setlist goodies and the performance, I think this show is a candidate for top 10-15 of the stacked year that is 1972...
