Brown Eyed Women

Century II Convention Hall

Super-fast and super-funky rendition, from one of the best 1972 shows.

Johnny B. Goode
July 16, 1972
Dillon Stadium

Hard rockin' version with the Allmans sitting in. Heavy bass riffs courtesy of Brother B.O.

Ramble On Rose
Nov. 24, 1972
Dallas Memorial Auditorium

Hard rocking version from a tight 2nd set.
5
Big River
Nov. 19, 1972
Hofheinz Pavilion

A rip-roaring rendition, with Jerry ripping licks, Keith banging keys, and Billy machine-gunning the backbeat.

The Other One
Nov. 14, 1972
Oklahoma City Music Hall

Nice jazziness coming out of Truckin'. Phil hints at a few solo themes he would develop later on, and Jerry shreds before the verse reprise.

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.
