Metropolitan Sports Center

The SBD I scooped had a Wang Dang Doodle-ish soundcheck that came with it. Some pretty slinky shit. Worth checking if you can track it down

Massive version! Was spinning on the treadmill at the gym and felt like I was going to run through the wall. Serious way to open a show!

The Other One
Nov. 17, 1972
Century II Convention Hall

Blows the goddamn doors down. And I agree, this new Dave's release showcases Keith putting on an 88 key clinic
Playin' In The Band
Nov. 15, 1972
Oklahoma City Music Hall

Multi-thematic masterpiece. Deep exploration. This is IT
He's Gone
Nov. 17, 1972
Century II Convention Hall

Keith steals this show and this version of He's Gone. His descending fills in the end jam are hypnotic. Stellar version
Bird Song

American University

This one is magnificent - great peaks and valleys
Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Sept. 19, 1990
