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

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.

Century II Convention Hall

Excellent version. Definitely one of the best from Nov. '72, and my personal favorite from that month.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
July 16, 1972
Dillon Stadium

Berry leads the way into GDTRFB with a powerful bass riff, so he must have been familiar with the tune already. As a huge B.O. fan, I really dig his interpretation.
Playin' In The Band
Oct. 17, 1972
Fox Theatre

Listened to this one again while on a rainy walk, and it's definitely the best standalone Playing from October. Not sure why 10/26 is ranked so much higher.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
Nov. 26, 1972
San Antonio Civic Auditorium

Jerry sounds like he's channeling Dick Dale on this one.
Sugar Magnolia
Nov. 24, 1972
Dallas Memorial Auditorium

Absolutely deserves a listen. This is yet another excellent Sugar Mag in a month filled with superb ones.
