Not the best from E72, but the transitions out of DS and into Caution are unbelievably tight. Billy tears it up on this one.

Lille Fairgrounds

A lovely little gem. The outro jam is starting to stretch.

Another E72 ripper!

Not the tightest ending, but Jerry is all over this one.

Sweet rendition. Almost sounds like they’re trying to get back to Bird Song before Phil starts The Other One.

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.
