Not Fade Away

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.

Amazing. Just heard the whole show for the first time. Several greats throughout the show, but this is the kind of dazzling Stephen that got me on the bus and kept me there. They took their vitamins that night!

Great energy. Drives into a cool "Close Encounters" solo Jerry Jam.

Kicks into a raging high-energy epic around 07:45 This is what used to blow me out of my boots at the shows back in the day. Wish I could have been there for this one.

Just infinite. Midway into the jam Jer hits a riff, then settles on it, then brings everyone in on it. Collective massive jamming. Great Jack Straw on this show, too. Sorry for the double posting!
