This Estimated gets so, so far out there at the end, but not ina spacey way. This sucker has more peaks than the Rockies. Jams just keep building...

This one is a real tear jerker. Some of the most soulful singing I’ve ever heard.

Easily one of the best. High energy and A+ execution. A good version to quiet the naysayers!!

Seriously this is a very beautiful, emotional China Doll. A must listen

Wow how is this not ranked in the Top 5? Amazing Terrapin here.
The Other One
July 25, 1972
Paramount Theater

The jam passage in the middle of this make it truly unique, and one of the best pieces of improvisational jamming during one of their strongest years. With hints of what sounds like the Weather Report intro and GDTRFB, St. Stephen and even Samson...it’s an amazing thing.
