Cumberland Blues

Springfield Civic Center

Tight frolic, without the verge-of-chaos coal car vibe from the era. Bobby's contrib. is spot on, and Jer drops a "Went to Toledo" quote.

Springfield Civic Center

A perfectly rendered, tightly orchestrated soaring arc from one of the most inexplicably underated shows of Fall '72. Listen in: Bobby's in pure form.

I have trouble understanding why this isn't already here, other than the embarrassment of riches that is Fall '72.

One of the best I know. Hard chargin' and up tempo hot stuff.

Bites down hard, with a potent electric twang, plus Keith is full of surprises here.

I listen to it again and again, always hearing new things. One of my favourite versions of one of my favourite songs.

Great transition. Brilliant jam through the transition. Just an enormous show through and through.

Beautiful and mysterious. This version is exactly what I love about this song - even the aud patches in my version add to its psychedelic glory.

Grab hold to something and try to hang on. Remember to breath.

Really nice Cryptical on both sides. The "outro" is smoking hot and almost as long as the TOO meat in the sandwich.
