Truckin'
Nov. 14, 1972
Oklahoma City Music Hall

Just when it seems like they've decided on O1 as the jam vehicle of choice, they suddenly switch to a great Truckin'.

Next Time You See Me
March 25, 1972
Academy of Music

Nice extended jam on this one, with Pig driving the band to new heights.

Turn On Your Love Light
March 25, 1972
Academy of Music

Pig takes the wheel on a wild ride through the funk dimension. "I know you got it hid away someplace, 'cuz I've been there before."

Uncle John's Band

Academy of Music

Sugar Magnolia->Caution->Uncle John's Band is a very cool sequence, kind of a preview of the Europe 72 jams.

Chinatown Shuffle
Jan. 2, 1972
Winterland Arena

One of the earliest Shuffles, and it's a good one. Pig sings some lyrics differently, and I dig the organ/piano combo.

El Paso
Nov. 19, 1972
Hofheinz Pavilion

Just before this song, Bobby dedicates both Hofheinz shows to the memory of Allman Bros. bassist Berry Oakley, who was killed on Nov. 11. It's a poignant moment that seems to bring out a fine performance.
Brokedown Palace
Nov. 17, 1972
Century II Convention Hall

This whole show is solid, probably one of the best from 1972, but Truckin->O1->Brokedown is in another dimension.
Sing Me Back Home
Nov. 14, 1972
Oklahoma City Music Hall

Yeah, this combo is really well done. The 14th flies under the radar compared to other dates from Nov. '72, but it's a great show.
Wharf Rat
March 26, 1972
Academy of Music

Just when you think the jam from this show couldn't get any more massive, they finish it off with a beautiful Wharf Rat. Top-notch stuff.
The Other One
March 26, 1972
Academy of Music

Great jams throughout this O1 and the preceding Truckin'. The whole sequence might just be the highlight of the Academy run for me.
