Strand Lyceum

A crisp and powerful rendition, as good as any from Europe '72.

Roosevelt Stadium

This one has a great transition jam into TOO. Hopefully a better sounding recording emerges someday.

Sacramento Memorial Auditorium

This one's got more pep than a lot of '72 versions.

Great summer '72 version. Right up there with Veneta.

Paramount Northwest Theater

Chock full of heady summer '72 goodness. It's not quite 04/08, but tasty nonetheless.

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.
