Tight, inspired, rockin'. Best of the Euro '72 run. Give it some love, folks!

One knows from Jerry's opening vocals "cost a lot to win" sung with extra twang, that it's gonna be rockin' with that good county, funky vibe.

To Lay Me Down

Winterland Arena

I also waffle between this one and 9/18/74 as favorites. But right now I'm listening to this version from this night, so I'll naturally give it the nod...
Eyes Of The World

Winterland Arena

Cosmic. Ethereal. Sublime. Love the transition from Dark Star. And the coda in this Eyes is particularly inspired!

The Playin' from this night is also required listening!
Playin' In The Band

I agree with the above two comments. This version is a force to be reckoned with, and it's nearly as a good as the following night. The audio quality is hampered due to apparent water damage to the master reels, but still very listenable, nonetheless. I think this helps explain a low vote count on such a stellar version.
Its All Over Now

Onondaga County War Memorial

Although I seldom spin this tune, when I do, I reach for this one.
