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.

Me and My Uncle
March 26, 1972
Academy of Music

This Uncle seems to take everyone by surprise, but after a bit of confusion, they deliver a great version. Tight playing, good vocals, and a nice touch of organ from Pig.
Playin' In The Band

Jerry DEMOLISHES the jam in this one. The overall sound and execution isn't great compared to the others from this run, but holy moly, that guitar solo.
Cumberland Blues

Academy of Music

Cumberland was cooking at the Academy shows, but I think this might be the best of the run. The intensity of the jam just keeps on building.

Everyone seems to be taken by surprise by this transition. Jerry even forgets to sing the 2nd verse and just does the 3rd one twice.

^^^Couldn't have said it better. I can't believe I forgot to write a description of this great track.
