Long Beach Arena

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

Long Beach Arena

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

Promised Land

Long Beach Arena

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...

Seattle Center Coliseum

Strand Lyceum

I like the 5/4 Paris version slightly better, but this is one of the best for sure.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
May 25, 1972
Strand Lyceum

This is one of the more energetic versions of the tour, I think...
Attics of My Life

Adams Field House, U of Montana

Keith is playing a Fender Rhodes electric piano (as heard on "No Quarter," "Riders On The Storm," etc.), not a Hammond B3...
It Must Have Been The Roses

Adams Field House, U of Montana

I like this song a lot more at this tempo...it's a beautiful song, but it doesn't need to be pushing 10 minutes at 50 bpm IMO
