The last of a whopping 73 plays in 1972, and a nice one to finish with...

Perhaps not surprisingly, you can really hear the '73 sound starting to emerge here (and elsewhere in the show)...

Good start to a very overlooked show. This was their most common opener in '72, kicking off 32 shows, this being the last of them (opens S2 on NYE).

Good version sandwiched between HCS and the big jam suite...

Seems like this show needs more love around here...a few high vote-getters, but the whole thing rocks

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.

Paramount Theater

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!
Playin' In The Band

Strand Lyceum

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).
