Dec. '72 turns out to be a nice little peak for BEW. Perfect shuffle, air-play tightness, great soloing, just enough country. Bobby nicely audible.

A super-fun frolicing romp. They just seem to have loved playing this tune.

Pristine, air-play quality in a deep pocket with note-for-note perfection all 'round. Surprised not to see it here already.

Smokin' desperado polka here with superbly tight playing at a faster-than normal pace. A galloping riot and heaps of fun.

Shredding goodness, coming late in the set after a killer Star>Stella. Great show all around.

More love here. After a firework-filled Sugar Mag opener, this lovely lady puts the solid groove down. Jerry just gives more and more and more.

I try to avoid absolutes, but this is (currently) my favorite acoustic set. Beaut of a Dark Hollow here, folks. Bobby's voice is just perfect.

I'll take this one, thank you. Takes this tune way up over the top with high energy soloing. Great great show.

Convincing evidence for 1970 this. Brilliant, perfect acoustic Dead.

Okay, I'll take the bait: you got a link that's not on the archive? Let us know. I'd love to hear some rare privileged early speedway dead.
