Brown Eyed Women

Super-fast and super-funky rendition, from one of the best 1972 shows.

Johnny B. Goode
July 16, 1972
Dillon Stadium

Hard rockin' version with the Allmans sitting in. Heavy bass riffs courtesy of Brother B.O.

Hard rocking version from a tight 2nd set.

Big River
Nov. 19, 1972
Hofheinz Pavilion

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

The Other One
Nov. 14, 1972
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.

Morning Dew
Oct. 2, 1972
Springfield Civic Center

No way man, this is a great version. Well executed and full of energy from that nice Jam.
Feelin' Groovy Jam
Oct. 2, 1972
Springfield Civic Center

Great Jam! There's even some New Speedway Boogie happening for a bit. The whole Truckin->Jam->Dew sequence is a nice preview of the 73-74 style.
Casey Jones
Sept. 27, 1972
Stanley Theatre

Pretty ragged vocals, and Jerry blows the solo, so I can't give this one a vote. I think 9/17 is the best September Casey.
Cold Rain and Snow
April 17, 1972
Tivolis Koncertsal

Best Europe '72 version, even better than the one on Steppin' Out.
Ramble On Rose
Aug. 12, 1972
Sacramento Memorial Auditorium

Best summer '72 version.
