Swingin' energetic version. Really kicks at the end.

This one crackles with energy. Bobby really lets it rip.

Super tight version with a great mix and some nice harmonies.

Cumberland Blues
Nov. 15, 1972
Oklahoma City Music Hall

Another blazing version from a prime Cumberland year. Doesn't quite match 11/17, but is still oh so fine.

Sweet and mellow, well played by the band, and nicely sung by Jerry too.

Dark Star

Rossevelt Stadium

Jerry even throws in some good old '69 licks at the end. Great stuff.
Truckin'
July 18, 1972
Rossevelt Stadium

Truckin'->Dark Star is killer!
Playin' In The Band
July 18, 1972
Rossevelt Stadium

Really nice version, probably the best from July '72.
Not Fade Away
July 16, 1972
Dillon Stadium

Brother Berry Oakley plays bass on this one, as well as on the subsequent GDTRFB->Bo Diddley jam. He and Dickey tear it up!
Jack Straw
May 3, 1972
Olympia Theater

There are plenty of great Jack Straws from the Euro '72 tour, but this is the crucial one.
