Solid version, with nice work from Keith and some tasty tambourine provided by Pigpen.

Acres of deep 1972 swing, anchored by Phil and Billy, well sung by Jerry, and beautifully accented by Keith and Bobby.

Heartfelt rendition. The vocal-heavy mix of the 28th really works for this tune.

Powerful version from one of the strongest overall September '72 shows.

Playin' In The Band

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.

9/17 was my favorite from September, but I think I like this one even better.

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

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