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).

Seattle Center Coliseum

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

El Paso

Seattle Center Coliseum

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

Came on after 1/11/79 JS thanks to YouTube autoplay while I was in the shower and I had to jump out to see which show it was LOL...scorcher!
One More Saturday Night
Dec. 10, 1971
Fox Theatre

Billy is nuts on this one! Lots of 16th notes on the hi-hat early on, just pounding away on the bass towards the end!
Uncle John's Band
Sept. 17, 1972
Baltimore Civic Center

This solo is tear-jerkingly good. Seriously...great capper to an excellent show in a month that's quickly becoming one of my favourites!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Sept. 15, 1972
Boston Music Hall

One of the best I've heard in some time! Excellent, extended transition. One of the best sounding non-officially released SBDs of '72 as well!
Not Fade Away
Sept. 3, 1977
Raceway Park

I like 2/14/70 best myself, but this one is certainly up there.
