Big River

A rip-roaring rendition, with Jerry ripping licks, Keith banging keys, and Billy machine-gunning the backbeat.

The Other One

Oklahoma City Music Hall

Nice jazziness coming out of Truckin'. Phil hints at a few solo themes he would develop later on, and Jerry shreds before the verse reprise.

Playin' In The Band
Sept. 28, 1972
Stanley Theatre

The best of the September '72 Playins IMO. Great work from every band member, and a long, interesting jam full of peaks and valleys. I especially love the way Jerry unleashes a final burst of energy to carry the jam back home.

They hit the perfect swing and dynamic shifts on this one.
Bird Song
Sept. 27, 1972
Stanley Theatre

9/17 was my favorite from September, but I think I like this one even better.
El Paso
Sept. 28, 1972
Stanley Theatre

This is my favorite September '72 version. Vocals are a little low, but Phil is up front and riffing hard.

Palace Theater

I really like the solo on this one- reminds me of the Allmans.
