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.

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.

Nice grooving energy and beautiful vocals. No dragging here.

St. Paul Auditorium

There's so much greatness in this show and this version is right up there. Is the date overshadowed a bit by 15.02 and 09.02? For my ears they came together just right on the combined sweetness and mega-groove of HCS right here.
