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

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).

Playin' In The Band
May 11, 1972
Rotterdam Civic Hall

One of only seven times (out of 600 total plays) that they opened with PITB! This one feels much longer than its 10:33 run time — in a good way. You can tell this show has that "it" factor from the start...
