Not Fade Away

Paramount Theater

For a show that sometimes lacks a little energy in places, they end it with quite a bang. This outro is exceptionally good.

Slow star builds up huge head of steam and a slamin' jam. Ends funny, unsure whether >He's Gone or something else. Nice version, overlooked show.

Not too polished yet, but full of that new-song exhuberence. Great key work from Keith, and a funforall Reeeee-o Grand outro.

Playin' In The Band

A thing of (overlooked) beauty. Tight, muscular and coherent. It never drags. A perfect '72 Playin' here.

You've never heard it like this: Rehearsal tape, listed as "Distorto". Track 2. An absolute treasure. Hard-freaking-core. No words, just rock.

The Other One

Kezar Stadium

One of the best Bobby-Jerry meltdown conversations during a TOO that I know of: Helped by fine stereo panning for the different guitars and great sound.

Rising and falling (y'all) intesity and super-charged rhthymic complications make for an interesting version. Keith on Rhodes is nice and of course we've got great sound for the Kezar shows.

Badass cowboys. Go Dead!

Absolutely burning. Great improvements on the C.Miller versions. Keith's contribution really shines. Kezar gets a lot of play of course, but check out 22, 26, 28, 30 and 31 March for total Playin' headiness, some of which are arguably more interesting, tighter and more shredding than here. (Headphones only for some with sound quality issues.)
