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!

This one is a ripper...perhaps not as scorching as 7/18/72, but very hot in its own right.

I'm really loving these '72 versions...they don't drag at all, as it sometimes could in later years.

The jam was giving me slight hints of the '71 "Hard To Handle" jams, actually. Great, unique version...

Celebratory indeed...great (pre-OMSN) capper to one of my favourite '72 shows!

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).
