I think '71-'72 was probably the peak for this song...

Typically great '72 version, falling between a great "Tomorrow Is Forever" and an epic DS

Nice, brief one towards the end of a great DS

I've yet to find a bad one from '72...

Another excellent '72 version. Seems like this show is one of the most under-the-radar great '72 shows...

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!

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).
