Rollicking and hard-charging good time set closer after a brain-melting Playin'.

San Antonio Civic Auditorium

In spite of muffled sound in need of a cleanup, this one has all the swagger and triumph of the best of '72. BTW fans take heed!

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Dallas Memorial Auditorium

Surprised not to see this here. The trans has extra oomph to it and the band sails along in perfect sync. Great fun.

Pristine and fun. There's a cogent, almost album-tight quality to it.

Loser

Austin Municipal Auditorium

The mix is off at first, vocals lost, but hang in there and you'll hear one of Jerry's most heavy metal solos on Loser ever. Absolute shredder.

Really stellar transitional FGJ.

Selland Arena

Whole 2nd set qualifies for one of the top Phil Zone Jam Sets of the era. WRS/LIG>Spanish>Eyes>China Doll. Goddamn, it's good.
Uncle John's Band

Pauley Pavilion - University of California

Date, plate, slate, Koweit: Doesn't matter to me, 'cause this show tears the roof off the sucker. May be one of my top 10 shows of all time. Goddamn, it's good.

Shreddingly fast guitar work. Jerry's voice sounds young and fresh. Great version, great second set, great show.
Playin' In The Band
Aug. 24, 1972
Berkeley Community Theatre

Something supremely special with Playing' after Europe '72. Everyone loves Veneta, but don't overlook these peaks from the same week. Always seemed like they pulled it all out just a little bit furthur for the Berkeley crowd.
