Strand Lyceum

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

He's Gone
Sept. 19, 1972
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.

Cumberland Blues

Paramount Northwest Theater

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

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
March 21, 1972
Academy of Music

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
March 21, 1972
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.
China Cat Sunflower

Winterland Arena

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.
He Was A Friend of Mine

Capitol Theater

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