West Palm Beach Auditorium

Key element of the weirdness of this show for me.

West Palm Beach Auditorium

Infused with the same reggae/calypso quirkiness from the stellar "S>F" and before.

West Palm Beach Auditorium

My favorite shows always tend to start with this. Weird.

The quirk of this is when I felt the show take on its own character.

I Need A Miracle

Springfield Civic Center

Ah, you beat me to it! Second above, and I've honestly never heard the "Miracle" material done so well.

Shreddy bouncy triplet Jerry!
Playin' In The Band

Rotterdam Civic Hall

I honestly haven't heard the rest of the '72 box yet (working through parts of '90, '84, '78-9, '73), but I have this show in pretty frequent rotation every time I have like 4 full hours I can listen to something. The whole show is fantastic, and this PITB opener is just unreal. Slow Jerry peak mid-way through, superb band interplay. Although I'm a bourbon man myself.
Estimated Prophet

St. Louis Arena

Thanks man. I posted that a while ago, and I think this is the best version of this tune from the 04-77–06-77 run of shows.

Winterland Arena

Yeah, this is a superior version. During most of the May versions of this tune, I kept wanting them to stretch out a little, and they do here. The result is worth hearing!
